Get your pipe fittings ready, next week is Fix a Leak week, starting March 15.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsors the annual five-day blitz to promote repair of leaks and replacing appliances with those that have WaterSense labels, the EPA’s designation for low water use products. Did you even know that some faucets are engineering to use less water without a reduction in flow. That’s how they get the WaterSense label, and you can find qualified models at the WaterSense website.
So look for local events sponsored by the EPA and local governments, plumbers, retailers, manufacturers and organizations. An average American home can waste 10,000 gallons of water a year from running toilets, dripping faucets, and other leaks.
For details see the EPA webpage on Fix a Leak Week.
