Dripping faucets and leaky toilets account for a large portion of home water waste. Every year, in excess of 10,000 gallons of water is wasted in homes due to easy-to-fix leaks. The E.P.A. is encouraging consumers to "fix a leak" during the WaterSense program's 7th yearly celebration from March 16 - 22, 2015.
