 I'm a 1920s-era flapper. I put the roar in the roaring 20s, and I had fun every day of the week. And I'm the worn-out flapper in your toilet. I can waste up to 950 gallons of water a week. I wore beads in my hair and twirled my pearls and danced the jazz music all night long. Old flappers like me have edges that are worn and wavy, so they never form a tight seal when they close. So I make your toilet run all night long. Flapper girls like me are popular themes for parties, Halloween costumes, and awesome 5K races. With me around, your water bill will be too high for you to even think about a host in any party. Don't be a leaky flapper like that, me. Chase down those leaks and fix those flappers, so it can be a fun flapper like me. Sign up for the Chasing Leaks 5K at www.savefortworthwater.org, sponsored by the City of Fort Worth Water Department, the Fort Worth Runners Club, and the Environmental Protection Agency for Fix-A-Leak 2016. Because the only thing that should be running in your home is you.
