Water Loss

While utilities around the world work to reduce water loss caused by aging infrastructure and system leaks, everyday household leaks can also waste a surprising amount of water, especially during the cooler months, when irrigation systems go dormant and slow drips are easier to overlook.

A few simple seasonal check-ups can help prevent unnecessary water loss at home:

1. Check faucets, fixtures, and under-sink plumbing for slow drips
2. Test toilets for silent leaks (a common, often unnoticed source of waste)
3. Inspect irrigation valves and outdoor spigots before freezing weather
4. Watch for damp areas in your yard that could indicate a line leak

Every leak fixed, big or small, protects our water supply, supports long-term reliability, and saves money. Learn more about using water wisely at https://bcvwd.gov
