Using Water Wisely
As your water provider, we serve more than water. We provide value, public health, fire protection, reliability, and peace of mind. Our job is to ensure that your water keeps flowing not only today, but well into the future.
On the Lookout for Leaks
Skagit PUD recently completed a multi-year project for replacing its manual-read water meters with an automatic meter reading system. The new meters provide improved leak detection.

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!
