The Honolulu Board of Water Supply Launches Detect-A-Leak Week: Leak detection and repair saves water and money.
Did you know that a leaky toilet could waste 172,800 gallons of water in one month – costing at least $576 in water charges alone!
To help prevent this unnecessary and costly waste, the Board of Water Supply (BWS), in partnership with City Mill Home Improvement Centers, the Sierra Club Oahu Group and the Chamber of Commerce, has launched its 17th Annual Detect-A-Leak week from June 3-9, 2007, as a way to urge customers to check for and fix leaks.
Leaky toilets cause about 80 percent of high water bills, according to the Board of Water Supply.
