PLUMBING LEAKS WASTE WATER AND YOUR MONEY!

A continuous loss of water from a leak in the sizes indicated below, over a three (3) month period, would waste water in the amounts shown.
Dripping plumbing fixtures or running toilets could also increase your water consumption by a similar amount. Please repair any leaks or dripping plumbing fixtures because your Water Department cannot reduce your water bill.

Diameter of Hole Gallons Cubic Metres Approx. Water Cost
1/4" or 6.50mm 984,500 4,475 $3,518.33
3/16" or 4.50mm 554,620 2,521 $1,982.06
1/8" or 3.00mm 245,300 1,115 $876.64
1/16" or 1.75mm 61,600 280 $220.14

Possible checks for high water usage:

  • dripping taps - inside and outside
  • leaking toilets – check by turning off the water supply to the toilet for a good period of time
  • humidifier on the furnace
  • water backup sump pumps ( the shut off has quit working )
  • leak in line between the meter at the road and the house – indicated by wet, soggy areas in the lawn
  • water purification systems (the ones that boil the water and catch the steam)
