Water Conservation Tips:
There are numerous water-saving devices on the market. Look for aerators, flow regulators and displacement devices to make your home conservation friendly.


Easy Way To Save Water, Fix all Leaks :
Check all faucets, including outside hose connections. Check your toilet. Add several drops of food coloring to the toilet tank. If it's leaking, the coloring will appear in the toilet without flushing. Test toilets for "invisible" leaks. Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and let it stand for approximately 30 minutes. Do not flush the toilet during this period. If the coloring appears in the bowl, there is a leak.

This is the only way to detect this common problem. It is recommended to perform this test every six months since the rubber components in the tank deteriorate rapidly. Does the toilet get stuck or run continuously when flushed? This would cause a fluctuation in usage, but would not be detected as a leak unless it is running while you are investigating.
