A leaking toilet could be costing you money and wasting water. Northumbrian Water can fix it for free.
A leaking toilet is one of the most common causes of unexpectedly high water use, but they can be hard to see as the water often runs from the toilet cistern into the back of the pan. The sound of a constant trickle is an obvious sign but some leaks are silent and easy to miss.
A leaking toilet could be wasting on average 215 litres of water a day. If you have a water meter, and this is left undetected it could add an extra £200 on to your water bill.
