My taps are currently dripping. How much water will i be wasting if i don't get them serviced immediately? Will - Tusmore

This is a very good question. A lot of people think a dripping tap does not waste much water as only such a small amount is dripping out. This is incorrect. A single tap which drips a very small amount once every 10 seconds will lose up to 315L per year. This equates to around one or two baths full. So if you have a dripping tap it is really worth fixing, especially if it dripping quickly. This is a relatively simple service which equates to a big saving for the environment.
