Tampa Bay Water

Did you know, the average household's leaks can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year? To check for leaks in your home, check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter changes at all, you probably have a leak. #FixALeakWeek EPA Water

It's Fix A Leak Week! These suspects are wanted for causing the average household to waste 10,000 gallons a year. The most common leaks inside the home are worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets and other leaking valves. These leaks are often easy to fix, requiring only a few tools and hardware that can pay for themselves in water savings. #FixALeakWeek EPA Water

A leaky toilet flapper can fill an average-sized swimming pool 4 times in less than a year! That's nearly 200 gallons of water wasted daily, and it could cost you hundreds of dollars a year. Visit toiletflapper.org to solve your leaky flapper problems.

Once the only source of drinking water for the Tampa Bay region, groundwater is still an important part of Tampa Bay Water’s system and accounts for half of the region's drinking water supply. As we recognize National Groundwater Awareness Week, let's appreciate this crucial resource for our region. National Ground Water Association
