Silent toilet leaks often go undetected. Place a few drops of food coloring or a leak detection dye strip/tablet in your toilet tank. Wait 20 minutes. If the water in the toilet bowl turns blue without flushing, you have a leak. Click here for fix-it directions.

Dye tablets or detection strips are available at the Everett Utility Billing window at 3101 Cedar St., Everett, or contact Greg Moore, 425-257-8991, gmoore@ci.everett.wa.us or Lori Tobin, 425-257-7724, ltobin@ci.everett.wa.us to have dye strips mailed to you.
