Fix a Leak Week

More than 1 trillion gallons of water are wasted in U.S. homes each year from easy-to-fix leaks. That’s why Skagit PUD is participating in Fix a Leak Week, March 15 to 21, 2010, and we encourage you to join us.

Sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) WaterSense® program, this week is an opportunity to improve the water efficiency of your home by checking for and fixing leaks, which waste an average of more than 10,000 gallons of water per home each year. That’s enough water to fill up a backyard swimming pool!
