According to the Board of Water Supply, it's easy to find water wastage in your house: Just turn off all water faucets and other water-using fixtures, then check your water meter to see if the dial is moving. If it is, ou have a leak. Call a plumber and have the leak repaired as soon as possible.Inspect faucets, pipes, and other fixtures. For toilets, use dye tablets to check for leakage. Free dye tablets are available from the Board of Water Supply, City Mill or at Satellite City Halls.
