The Environmental Protection Agency would like to announce March 16-20, 2009 is ‘Fix a Leak Week.’

http://www.epa.gov/watersense/docs/ws_fixleak508.pdf

Leaking fixtures sends your water and your money down the drain.  It is much better to have the leak repaired rather than let it continue to waste your money.

Other facts about leaks from the EPA: Did you know?

•  10 Percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day.
•  A constantly running toilet can waste more than 200 gallons of water every day.
•  A leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year.
•  A showerhead leaking 10 drips per minute wastes enough water to run your dishwasher 60 times.

Call B&W Plumbing and Heating to take care of your leaks today.  Remember, standard rates apply 7am to 7pm Monday through Saturday and Planned Service Agreement Customers never pay overtime!
