Pennsylvania American Water 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.
