Dripping your faucets to avoid freezing? An expensive, last resort! |
| This will cost you! A dripping faucet can use just over 1000 GALLONS A DAY, as we can see here at City Hall based on the automated meter reading system! That's an extra $6 per day for water and sewer at Tybee's current water and sewer rates. For just $2, you can buy a foam faucet cover for the faucet. $2 more will buy you 6' of foam insulation. $30 buys an electric heating element to wrap around your pipes. You can save even more by wrapping your pipes with bubble wrap or newspaper and duct tape that you may have just lying around. Save yourself some money and protect your pipes properly! |
|
Don't believe us? Stop by the Cashier's Desk to pick up a drip rate measuring kit. Within just a few seconds, you can determine how much water is being lost by a drip, whether one you've set on purpose or a faucet in need of repair. You'll be amazed! |
