Need ideas on what to look for in each room of your house? Use the EPA WaterSense "Detect and Chase Down Leaks" checklist to get started. epa.gov/sites/default/…

The 3 highest water-using locations inside your home are the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. Remember the 3 L's: Look and List for Leaks. Do you hear running water? Do you see dripping faucets? Repairing leaks quickly will help avoid surprise high water bills!

Is your toilet running? Better catch it before it runs up your water bill! Perform a quick DIY dye test if you suspect a leak. Put drops of food coloring in the tank water, wait 15 minutes, then look in the bowl. If you see color, you likely need to replace your flapper.

Have you looked at your OKC water bill yet this month? Your bill holds clues about your monthly water use patterns and potential water waste. If you spot an unusually high rise in your bill, you may have a leak! More information on how to read your bill: okc.gov/Services/Water…
