Fix-A-Leak Week 2012
Find and Fix Leaks from March 12th-18th!
Leaks are a drain on the world; each year more than one trillion gallons of water are wasted in US homes due to leaks. Most people aren't aware of how much water leaks can waste. For example:
- A leaky toilet can waste more than 200 gallons per day.
- In one year, the average home will have enough leaks that they could fill an entire swimming pool.
- Most leaks are easy to detect and fix!
