Leaving a faucet dripping continuously during a severe winter freeze wastes a modest amount of water, typically costing between $0.50 to $3.00 in municipal water utility fees over a 24-hour period. This minor water expense is vastly cheaper than the thousands of dollars in emergency plumbing repairs required if a frozen pipe bursts and floods your home. Verification: Monitor your municipal water meter or utility account following a freeze warning to assess the minor usage increase.
