The most common cause for a high water bill is running water in your toilet. A continuously running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons a day. That can double a family’s typical water use, so fix toilet leaks as soon as possible. Some leaks are easy to find, such as a dripping faucet or running toilet.
Never flush these items down the toilet:
When flushed down the toilet, these items bind together and may cause sewage backups in homes, manhole overflows and failures at sewage pumping stations, costing thousands of dollars to repair.
Only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed. Even though some products such as wipes and baby diapers may claim to be flushable, they are not.
To prevent sewer overflows please do not pour fats/oils/grease down the drain.
Most grease is a byproduct of cooking and is usually found in such things as:
Here’s how you can help prevent sewer backups:
Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets or garbage disposals.
Pour grease into a covered disposable container and put it into the trash.
COOL IT – CAN IT – TRASH IT
Soak up the remaining fats, oils, and grease with paper towels and dispose with your trash.
Before you wash dishes, scrape meats and food with fat and grease into the trash.
Put baskets or strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty the drain basket or strainer into the trash.
Only use garbage disposals for fruits, vegetables, and organic waste.
