American Water (NYSE: AWK), the largest regulated water and
wastewater utility company in the U.S., highlights U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fix a Leak Week 2024 by
sharing tips to locate and fix leaks fast.
According to the EPA, the average household wastes nearly 10,000
gallons of water annually. Below are a few common places to check
for leaks inside your home:
- Faucets – A leaky faucet can waste nearly 3,200 gallons
of water per year.
- Toilets – These silent water wasters can usually be
fixed by adjusting or replacing the flapper valve.
- Washing machine – If you see water on the floor under
your washing machine, contact a repair person. You may need to
replace your drain hose.
- Tub spouts and shower heads – Leaks here can waste
hundreds of gallons per year. If you notice one, be sure to address
it as soon as you can.
- Boiler system – If the sound of running water is
continuous and does not stop and start periodically, there may be a
leak. Contact a professional to check it out and perform
repairs.
