Water leaks attribute to nearly ONE TRILLION gallons of water waste each year in the US. There are a number of places leaks may hide inside and outside of your home.
In the Laundry or Utility Room:
✔️ Look under any sink for pooling water under pipe connections
✔️ Look under your washing machine for pooling water, which may indicate a supply line leak
In your basement:
✔️ Check beneath the tanks for pooling water, rust, or other signs of leakage
And don't forget to go outside to check your spigots for tight connections!

This crew is cutting rags, and other flushed items, from the aerators at our sewer plant. Looks gross, right? In addition to being gross, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to remove the fibrous materials that cannot break down after being flushed. On this particular day, more than 100 rags were removed from the lagoon. These items can damage sewer pumping equipment and impede pumping operations and create unnecessary maintenance expenses that can eventually impact customer rates and bills. Please help us curb time and expense by keeping our sewer system rag-free. https://pulse.ly/4wf3nfzlsf #MoscowMills #MoscowMillsMO
