Leaking taps and fixtures
Leaking taps is another common cause of an expensive water bill. The more serious the leakage, the more water is wasted and the higher the water bill. For example, a faucet that drips one drop of water every second will waste approximately 15+ gallons of water a day.
Fortunately, leaking taps are relatively easy to detect and repair. A simple visual inspection of faucets, showerheads and other accessories can identify leaks.
The most common cause of a leaking faucet is a problem with the rubber gasket on the faucet handle. In most cases, you can turn off the dripping tap water, unscrew the handle, remove the faulty gasket, and replace it with a new one.

If people would just flush the toilet every 3 to 5 times after urinating, it would save a lot of water, instead of flushing every time.
Water is a natural resource that belongs to the American people! Pumping and delivering water to the citizenry is done by private entities – they are entitled to receive monies for this service, however, THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO CHARGE US FOR OUR OWN WATER which belongs to us, the American people! This is another corruption and theft foisted on the American people and needs to STOP!
People who live alone do not need to flush after each bathroom use. In the last years I have paid for actual water use one month per year, except for the customer charge which is unavoidable because of government ripoffs.
If you do not like this country go and live in some other country that is better.
You pay more for bottle water than from your tap. If you do not like how things are done, just drill a well in your back yard and get YOUR water for free or dig a big hole in your yard, sink a tank, get water trucked in and drink and flush all you want.
