Leaky Faucets

• If you have a leaky faucet that drips once per second, you will lose 3,000 gallons of water in a year. Leaky faucets are a fairly easy fix. It can cost between $65 and $150 which may seem like a lot. However, the 3,000 gallons that can be wasted in just a year costs about $555, so you could save up to $490 if you pay to get the leaky faucet fixed.

Dishwasher

• The average dishwasher uses 6 gallons of water per cycle. Now if you do 3 full cycles, you will use 18 gallons of water, but if you are only filling the dishwasher up three quarters of its capacity, you will have to do 4 cycles to wash the same amount of dishes. This means you will use 24 gallons instead of 18. If you run your dishwasher when it is full once per day, in a year, you will use 2,190 gallons of water. If you only fill it up three quarters of the way you will use 2,920 gallons. By filling it all the way up, you could save 730 gallons of water and about $135.
