BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Presentation of proclamation proclaiming March 20 to 26, 2017, as
"Fix a Leak Week" in Lodi.
This year marks the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
WaterSense Program's ninth "National Fix a Leak Week," a time to
remind Americans to check their household fixtures and irrigation
systems for water leaks.
Common sources of water leaks found in the home include leaking toilet flappers, dripping faucets,
showerheads, and other leaking valves. Nationally, minor water leaks add up to more than one trillion
gallons of water wasted each year and is equal to the yearly water use in over 10 million homes.
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.
On Thursday, March 23, 2017 at 3 p.m., the City's Water Conservation Program will be hosting a "Water
Conservation & You!" open house at the Surface Water Treatment Facility, located at 2001 West Turner
Road. This event will provide information on how to find water leaks in your home or business and other
services provided by the program.
