running toilet
Constantly flowing john
A running toilet is one that continues to flow water into the bowl after flushing, usually due to a faulty flapper valve or fill mechanism.
The constant sound of water is the telltale sign: I could hear the running toilet from the hallway.
Left unrepaired, it wastes significant water.
