A small drip
can waste a lot of water. A leak or a running toilet can cost even
more. If things get out of hand, you could double your water bill!
In addition, leaks in hot water lines waste heat, compounding the
loss. If valves or faucets are damaged, fix them or replace them
immediately. If a toilet is running, fix it or have it repaired
to avoid costly waste.
