So when I got back from my Christmas trip back east, I noticed that one of the ceiling tiles in my bedroom was soaked and sagging ominously. I promptly called my landlord and after a few phone calls I learned that I was in a queue as a small backlog had occurred due to the holidays. When I called back a few days later, I mentioned that I had also noticed a little drip in my bathroom sink and one in the kitchen sink as well. A few days later when the maintenance service man finished I ended up with quite a few new ceiling tiles, a new bathroom faucet, a new bathroom showerhead, and a repaired kitchen sink. It turns out that there were a few cracks in the aged bathroom appliances that caused them to run extra water, but I was just so used to them that I didn’t really pay it much attention. Anyway, they’re fixed now so I should be able to save a bit more water in the bathroom. It did make me feel a bit ashamed of the fact that I’m always looking for more painstaking ways to conserve but there were some really simple problems that could have been solved earlier with a simple phone call.
