If a faucet leaked a small stream of water how much would be wasted in a year?

Answer 1

Depends on how fast it's dripping. Put a gallon jug (empty jug of course) under the faucet and time how long it takes to fill up. you should be able to figure out how to calculate how much it drips per min, hour or day.

Answer 2

first you have to measure it. Put a half gallon or better yet an empty gallon jug ( or even a measuring cup) under the faucet exactly at the stroke of the hour. see how long it takes to fill. If it takes 1 hr to fill up then you're losing 1 gallon each hour. there's 720 hrs in a 30 day month so at that rate you're losing 720 gallons per month. It all depends on how fast it's dripping. So, measure it and then fix it! Or just forgot about measuring and fix it!

Answer 3

Probably no more than 5 gallons. But there are more things than just the amount of water you're loosing to consider. If it's the hot water that is leaking than you're not just wasting water but also energy. Also, constantly running water stains sinks, tubs and toilets. As well as ruins faucets and spouts, especially if you have hard water. If it is a sink that is leaking than a quick fix would be to shut off the water supply under the sink. (Most sinks have shutoffs under them, some don't)

Good luck!
