City Seeking Volunteers for Leak Detection Pilot Study
Save water and money! The City of Burlingame is participating in a Leak Detection Pilot Study conducted by WaterNow Alliance, a non-profit organization focused on advancing sustainable water solutions, and funded by the San Mateo County Office of Sustainability. The study seeks to characterize the typical water savings resulting from the use of a “smart” leak detection device. Burlingame residents selected to participate in this 12-month study will receive a free leak detection device for their home, including installation. With the device, participants can conveniently track real-time water use, receive leak alerts, and even shut off water use in their home, all through their mobile device.
Applications will be accepted until the study is filled. Limited devices are available; please apply today!
For more information or to apply, click here
. Other participating cities include the City of Santa Clara, the City of San Jose Municipal Water System, and the City of Foster City.
For questions about this study, please contact Jennifer Lee, Environmental Regulatory Compliance Coordinator with the City of Burlingame at 650-558-7381, or

Environmental Tip of the Week
Check Your Toilets for Leaks
Did you know that the most common household leak is found in the toilet? In many cases, a toilet leak is silent unless you know the signs. To test if your toilet is leaking, drop a dye tablet (or several drops of food coloring) into the tank and wait 15 minutes. If colored water appears in the bowl, you may need to replace the flapper. To get free dye tablets and other water conservation devices, check out the
Energy and Water Saving Toolkit at the Burlingame Library.

FIRST Seeks Adult Volunteers for Robotics Tournament at BHS
Sunday, November 18, 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Burlingame High School
FIRST (First Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. Its robotics team is hosting a double First Tech Challenge qualifying tournament on November 18
at Burlingame High School.
FIRST would greatly appreciate any help you, your friends, or family can provide. Most of the jobs are for the full day, but people can be assigned in shifts, if needed. For many of the volunteer positions, you don’t necessarily have to have an understanding of robotics, so don't let that prevent you from considering this volunteer opportunity. Judges, referees, inspectors, and other positions don’t require any technical background.
