Changes in water use and outdated or leaky toilets and fixtures are some of the most common reasons for unusual high water usage. According to the EPA, the average household leak can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of wasted water every year, and ten (10) percent of homes have leaks that waste over ninety (90) gallons per day!
