IT'S NATIONAL
FIX-A-LEAK WEEK!

Did you know that March 15-21, 2021 is National Fix-a-Leak Week?

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, 10 percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons of water, or more, per day.

Minor leaks, often found in toilets, faucets, shower heads, and sprinklers, account for nearly 1 trillion gallons of wasted water each year, which ends up being costly for many customers.

What do you do if you suspect you have a leak?

EMWD customers can check their My Account for unusual activity. If you suspect that you have a toilet leak, check out our latest WaterWise Plus video here to see how you can safely detect the leak at home.

COMING SOON: LANDSCAPES FOR LIVING

An exciting new Outdoor Water Use Effi­ciency Program is coming in May 2021. The new EMWD program, called Landscapes for Living, will offer rebates and free installation of water saving equipment to help residential customers reduce outdoor water use.

Through the program you will be able to recover up to 100 percent of your Landscapes for Living project costs! Staff will be available to help you plan, create a design and navigate the rebate and free installation process to make it as simple as possible for you to get started.

Get inspired so you are ready for Landscapes for Living! Take a look at the Inland Empire Landscape Guidebook on our website, which offers water efficient landscape designs for a variety of uses, including designs that accommodate gatherings, or those that offer low maintenance, or others which are kid and pet friendly.
 
More information about the program will be announced in May 2021.
