Little did I realize that those tiny drips from faucets could amount to like one trillion gallons of water wasted each year in US homes alone. That was the figure the Environmental Protection Agency came up with during Tampa Bay’s Fi-a-Leak week last month.
Do-it-yourselfers do it exactly that way — they know how to fix a dripping faucet. Then again, there’s no need to wait until then; you could take preventive measures such as checking washers and gaskets for wear and/or cracks, and in cases where necessary replace them with Watersense models. That would not be a daunting task, for a search for faucets online would yield some quality, leak-proof, life-time warranty faucets and hoses products.
It was also interesting to read about Purdue’s thoughts on an environmentally friendly campus. They came up with two concepts — automated faucets and hand dryers.
