Save Our Water - TIP #1

By fixing that leaky pipe or faucet you'll be amazed at how much water and money you save over time.  How much water can be wasted in a slow kitchen faucet drip?  The Drip Accumulator calculator on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website can tell you.  A single slow leaky faucet dripping 30 drops per minute wastes 3 gallons per day (1 gallon = 15,140 drips) or the equivalent of 27 baths a year.  Whoa - that's a lot!  So take care of your dripping faucets knowing in the long run it saves both water and $!  See the science at: http://water.usgs.gov/edu/sc4.html
