Check your water meter: Turn off all water in your home. Read your meter, wait two hours without using any water, then read it again. If the number changed, you likely have a leak.

Test your toilet. Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank. Wait 15-20 minutes without flushing. If color appears in the bowl, your flapper valve needs to be replaced — a quick, low-cost fix.

Inspect your faucets. A faucet dripping at just one drip per second wastes more than 3,000 gallons a year. Tightening the connection or replacing the washer can stop the drip.
