Water Leaks & Conservation Tips

Tuesday was World Water Day. World Water Day is held annually on the 22nd of March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. In honour of World Water Day this year, check out some of our tips on water leaks and water conservation.

Some Water Usage Facts

  • We each use on average 150 litres (33 gallons) of clean treated water each day
  • A running tap can use up to 10 litres (2.2 gallons) of water a minute.
  • A leaking ball-valve in a water trough can waste up to 150m3 (33,000 gallons) of water per year
