The Surprise City Council issued a proclamation recognizing March 14 to 20 as Fix-A-Leak Week during Tuesday night’s City Council meeting.
Fixing household water leaks can save homeowners about 10% on their water bills. In fact, household leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide.
To remind residents of the importance of checking for leaks, Surprise is participating in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) annual Fix-a-Leak Week campaign.
To help residents learn how to find and fix leaks, the Surprise water conservation team will host a free irrigation maintenance and repair workshop from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 19.
The class will take place in the Surprise Water Education Center, 16126 N. Civic Center Plaza.
Attendees will receive tips on finding and fixing leaks and overall irrigation system maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair.
Registration is free at surpriseaz.gov/waterconservation.
Common types of leaks found in the home are worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets and other leaking valves. These types of leaks are often easily correctable and can pay for themselves in water savings.
