across the country. The U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA's) WaterSense8
program sponsors Fix a
Leak Week every March to
encourage homeowners to
find and fix leaks.
Visit www.epa.gov/

on finding and fixing leaks.
EPA also developed teacher
materials to make learning
water basics and finding
and fixing leaks fun. Visit

Drip Drip
Drip Drip likes to hear
the sound of his own
name. That's why he lets
his faucet leak, wasting
more than 3,000 gallons
a year! Tightening
the tap or replacing
a washer can fix this
problem.
Kids can play the Test Your
WaterSense game at
www.epa.gov/watersense/
kids/games.html and learn
about saving water at home.
