Stop Leaky Faucets in Las Vegas From Wasting Water
How Much Water Does a Dripping Faucet Waste?
The exact amount of water wasted by a leaky faucet in Las Vegas varies by flow rate. A handy calculator on the U.S. Geological Survey website estimates that a home with three faucets dripping at a rate of 30 drips a minute wastes 8 gallons of water a day and 3,124 gallons per year. That’s a whopping water waste.
Do Leaking Faucets Cause Other Problems?
Leaky faucets can attract insects and vermin. The same goes for leaking pipes. Pests need water the same as we do. They’ll hang out and multiply where they have a steady supply. Outdoor faucet leaks can encourage rodent and wildlife problems, too.
That drip or stream in a bathroom sink, shower or tub can increase the risk of rust stains and hard water deposits on every kind of fixture finish, including fiberglass, porcelain, stainless steel and marble.
