💡 The Leak Epidemic —— 1 Drip Wastes $100/Year
A single dripping faucet wastes 3,000 gallons annually - enough drinking water for 18 people. The EPA estimates average households lose 10,000 gallons yearly from leaks.
Start with these fixes
• Toilet leaks: Use the food coloring test (color in bowl = leak)
• Faucets: Replace washers for 0.50vs.200 in water waste
• Showerheads: Install WaterSense models (saves 2,700 gallons/year)

The Strategy: Full Capacity + Smart Settings
Wait until you have full loads (but don't overload), use cold water settings (saves energy too), and upgrade to ENERGY STAR (saves 30% water).
