I have many times gone into the upstairs (near the shower) bathroom and found
the hot water tap freely running. Every time I do, i turn off the supply valve
from underneath, because the problem is that the faucet valve is not sealing
and is likely continuing to run even when people shut it off.
this is basic maintenance that's not happening. The cost of running hot water
continuously is primarily energy, because the hot water heater is burning
natural gas (or is it electricity?) to heat fresh drinking water that's then
being sent down the drain.
The solution is to re-valve or replace the hot water faucet in the upstairs
bathroom so it shuts off properly.

Subject: water leak in upstairs bathroom
i feel like i wrote this email a while ago but i'm not sure.
the bathroom in the corner of the upstairs bathroom (next to the kitchen) hot
water faucet is leaking, flowing openly continuously, unless it is vigorously
forced off. This does not happen.
when i go into that bathroom (which is not often) i see that the hot water is
just flowing. Because the seal in the valve is worn out. So i turned off the
service valve under the sink to turn off the water to the faulty valve. But
someone else turns it back on. and then people leave the water on.
Omni has probably used thousands of gallons and hundreds of dollars in water
alone, not to mention the wasted energy and money of heating all that hot water
that's then flowing into the sewers.
I am not going to replace the valve, but i'm here to point out the problem and
hopefully someone will fix it. If not, i'll block off the pipe since it's
something I know how to do, but it would be a waste of effort since it needs to
be repaired properly anyway.
will someone please confirm they'll take care of this?
