Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) October 14, 2012 -- Well, one can judge for themselves. According to the leak calculator on usgs.gov, just one faucet, dripping 2 times per minute can waste 69 gallons of water a year. For perspective, a bathtub holds anywhere from 40 to 75 gallons.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Faucet Company has teamed up with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in connection with its WaterSense program to support the agency's fourth annual Fix a Leak Week campaign, March 12-18. Delta Faucet will host events in nine cities nationwide to address leaks and help save water in community facilities and low-income households by replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures with new, water-efficient showerheads, toilet flappers and faucet aerators.

Volunteers in nine cities across the country – Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle – will retrofit more than 1,900 units with new plumbing fixtures over the course of a week for an estimated savings of more than 7 million gallons of water annually. WaterSense-labeled showerheads, flowing at a water-efficient rate of 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm), have been donated by Delta Faucet. In addition, BrassCraft Manufacturing, a leading plumbing supplier, has donated new toilet flappers for the project, which can be a common cause for leaks in toilets, and Neoperl, Inc., an innovator in flow control solutions, will supply WaterSense-labeled aerators at each installation site to promote water efficiency in existing faucets.

Thanks to the combined effort of non-profit campaigns like ban the bottle and the students that support them, the use of bottled water is slowly disappearing from college campuses all around the U.S. Corporate Accountability Internationals campaign Think Outside the Bottle used on various campuses declare that more then twenty schools have banned, or at least partially banned bottled water because of environmental and health concerns.

Last September California’s Humboldt State University and the Macalester College in Saint Paul Minnesota already imposed campus-wide bans, and earlier this year the University of Vermont announced it will no longer buy bottled water from Dasani bottler Coca-Cola.

Not only will they remove all the bottled water from vending machines, cafeterias and stores, students have also pushed for distribution of reusable bottles, water fountains, and filling stations. This way they are trying to make it part of the student culture to carry their own reusable water bottle.
