BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Presentation of proclamation proclaiming March 14 to 20, 2016, as
"Fix a Leak Week" in Lodi.
This year marks the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
WaterSense program's eighth "National Fix a Leak Week," a time to
remind Americans to check their household fixtures and irrigation
systems for leaks.
Common types of leaks found in the home include leaking toilet flappers, dripping faucets, showerheads,
and other leaking valves. Fixing easily -corrected household water Teaks can save homeowners the
amount of water used to fill a backyard swimming pool each year and 10 percent or more on their utility
costs.
Approximately four percent of the nation's electricity consumption is used moving or treating water and
wastewater. One of the best ways to save energy across the country and in our own homes is to use
water more efficiently.
The City of Lodi Public Works Department's Water Conservation Program is designed to reduce
demands on the City's water supply by increasing the efficiency of water use within its service area and
has been a WaterSense promotional partner since 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
