Celebrate EPA WaterSense's Fix A Leak Week!
Concord General Services is offering FREE Toilet Leak Dye Test Kits in celebration of Fix A Leak Week.
Concord General Services is offering FREE Toilet Leak Dye Test Kits (while supplies last) at their Utility Billing office at 311 North State Street to encourage Concord water consumers to practice finding and fixing leaks in celebration of EPA WaterSense’s Fix A Leak Week (March 20-26, 2017).
A small leak may not seem like a big deal until you notice a difference in your water bill. “We’ve had customers shocked when they found out the reason their bill increased so much was from a leaky toilet. Often times higher water bills are a good indicator that there is a leak somewhere,” states Terri Segalini, Fiscal Supervisor for Concord General Services’ Utility Billing Division.
A leaky faucet, showerhead, toilet, or irrigation system may seem harmless, but 11,000 gallons of water can be wasted each year in an average household through minor water leaks such as these. Nationwide, that can add up to 1 trillion gallons of water wasted annually. Common leaks are easily correctable. Fixing leaks can reduce water consumption and potentially save money on water bills. Consider upgrading outdated fixtures with WaterSense labeled products to save water, energy, and potentially even money on your utility bills. Look for the WaterSense label on products that are independently certified to meet the U.S. EPA’s criteria for water efficiency, force, and flow.
