Fix a Leak Week

Nationwide, water leaks account for more than 1 trillion gallons of water wasted annually. This is why the EPA and WaterSense promotes Fix a Leak Week in the third week of March. The 2021 Fix a Leak Week will be March 15 - 21. This is a reminder to all Americans to check their water fixtures and irrigation systems for any water waste. Be sure to download How to Detect Leaks Checklist.
