Water savings calculator
How much is that leak costing you? Work out the annual cost of a continuous water leak at your own water and sewer rate, in Canadian dollars.
This section will contain
- Inputs (§G.1): leak rate (LPM) · hours/day · days/year · water + sewer rate ($/m³).
- UX: simple first (2–3 inputs → estimate), then an optional Refine step.
- The result is a data-viz moment, not form output: a §E widget with the money figure large and tabular.
- Export as CSV. The on-page result stays free and crawlable — and it is the ONLY thing this deployment delivers: §G.1's emailed PDF report is not built, so nothing on this site offers one. [TOM-REVIEW] §K.2.
