American Water Partners with EPA to Promote Fix a Leak Week
American Water and its subsidiaries today announced a partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promote Fix a Leak Week, which runs from March 19-25. The national campaign, part of the EPA’s WaterSense program, helps to raise awareness about small leaks and what homeowners can do to avoid inadvertently wasting water around the house.
Because there are more than 110 million households in the U.S., a seemingly minor leak from a faucet, showerhead, toilet, or other appliance can collectively result in a tremendous amount of wasted water. With the average residence losing 10,000 gallons a year, this means that more than a trillion gallons of water are lost annually nationwide through leaks occurring within homes.
To assist customers with household leak repairs and prevention, the company has created a downloadable leak detection kit available through the company’s website at www.amwater.com. In addition, a video about “The Silent Leak” highlights household leaks and how to fix them.
