March 17 – 23 is national Fix a Leak Week sponsored by EPA WaterSense. The City of Olympia’s Water Conservation Program is urging you to chase down leaks in your home. Household leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide, so race over to your plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems, fix any leaks, and save valuable water and money.
Common leaks found in the home include worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets and shower heads, and other leaking valves – all easily correctable. Take 10 minutes to investigate your plumbing, and you could save 10,000 gallons of water per year! Visit our website for information on leak detection and repair at olympiawa.gov/waterwise.
