Did you know a single leaky faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons of water a year? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), even a small drip—just one drop per second—can add up quickly, translating into a surprising spike in your monthly water bill. For homeowners and business owners alike, these hidden leaks often go unnoticed, yet can cost an extra $20–$70 per month depending on local rates.
Beyond the cost, reducing leaks is a step toward sustainability: fixing household leaks can save nearly 10% on your water bill and conserve a critical natural resource. For businesses, unchecked leaks in restrooms or landscaping systems can lead to even higher expenses and unnecessary waste.
Proactive step: Conduct regular checks on faucets, toilets, and irrigation systems. If you spot a drip, fix it promptly or call in a professional—your wallet and the environment will thank you.
