Put your hand on the side of the toilet tank
If the tank is cold and sweating and the     [swet] 出汗, 渗出, 烦恼
toilet has not been flushed for a while, you
may have a leak.  Remove the tank lid and
squeeze a few drops of food coloring into the 紧握, 挤, 榨取
back tank. Wait 10 minutes; if color shows up
in the bowl the flapper is leaking and needs  阻水阀,挡板
to be replaced. You can purchase flapper kits
at local hardware stores or call a
professional to replace the flapper. If you
do not have food coloring, contact us for
toilet dye tablets.                           n. 颜料, 染料

Check the water level in the tank by taking
off the cover.  The level should be set so it
is below the overflow level.  If you have to
*jiggle* the flush handle on your toilet to get (使)轻摇, (使)微动
it to stop running, the flush level bar and
chain (or the handle itself) may be sticking.
There are some flapper kits that also contain
replacement flush handles and chains.

from the meter to the house. Or the above
