Sustainability Tip of the Week: It's Fix-a-Leak Week

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Sense group says it's fix-a-leak week March 15th to 21st. If you have any leaky faucets spend a little time this week and fix them, because that little old leak can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. In an arid climate like the one we have in Colorado, water is a precious resource. Here's a good tip for a suspected leaky toilet:

"One way to find out if you have a toilet leak is to place a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If the color shows up in the bowl within 15 minutes without flushing, you have a leak."
