How much water do we waste?

• Down the drain…goes 95% of the water entering our homes.
• You’ll waste 4 gallons if you run the tap while brushing your teeth.
• Older toilets? Use 2 gallons more (over 3 gallons) than new with every flush.
• Many people exist on 3 gallons of water per day (or less). We can use that amount in one flush of the toilet.
• Leaky faucets – at one drop per second waste up to 2,700 gallons each year.
• Turn it off, fix leaks, think of water as the precious resource it is!
