Things to Check
Indoor Faucets
Check all faucets upstairs and downstairs - replace worn washers or defective fixtures
Outdoor Faucets
Check outside faucets to make sure they are turned off when not in use. Don't depend on the hose nozzle; use the faucet to turn off the water.
Water Using Appliances
Check faucets that connect with water using appliances. Appliances such as washing machines should be turned off after each use.
