No, it is not okay to leave a toilet running continuously for an extended period. A running toilet wastes hundreds to thousands of gallons of clean water over the course of a few days, leading to a massive spike in your municipal water utility bill. Furthermore, a continuously running fill valve places constant mechanical wear on internal rubber seals and can eventually burn out the fill valve motor or lead to localized overflow if the drain clogs. Verification: Check your water meter dial when no household taps are running to confirm if the leak indicator is spinning.
