Even a Small Drip Can Add up to a Big Bill!

Finding and fixing leaks is an easy way to save money on your utility bills and save water for salmon and other wildlife. Leaky toilets, faucets, and outdoor watering systems around your home could cost a typical household hundreds of dollars a year on their utility bill, and waste thousands of gallons of water.

Of all the leaks in the home, toilet leaks are the most frequent, and often the costliest. If you have an unusually high utility bill, there’s a good chance you have a leaky toilet. Unlike faucet leaks, toilet leaks can go undetected since they can be silent. Fortunately most toilet leaks are relatively easy to fix.
