According to WaterSense, minor water leaks in U.S. homes account
for more than 1 trillion gallons of water wasted every year. To
equip homeowners with a better awareness of the issue and tips to
fix leaks, WaterSense promotes Fix a Leak Week annually during the
third week of March. The program informs Americans how to
investigate potential water leaks in their home, by examining their
utility bills and reading their water meter, among other methods.
Fix a Leak Week materials also provide consumer tips on how to make
simple changes to reduce their water waste, including replacing
worn toilet flappers, repairing dripping faucets and leaking
showerheads, helping homeowners significantly minimize the impact
of leaks.
“Water loss is a critical issue that requires our attention and
action. As industry leaders, it’s important for HomeServe and
organizations like WaterSense to share these simple,
straightforward tips consumers can implement to quickly and easily
reduce water waste,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe USA. “Most
people are unaware of how much water is lost from something as
simple as a leaky faucet or running toilet, and so education can
make a big difference for water conservation. We are proud to be an
ally in helping further consumer awareness and understanding of
this issue during Fix a Leak Week.”
Through the service line repair programs HomeServe and USP
provide, in conjunction with municipalities and utilities around
the country, tens of thousands of homeowners each year have been
able to quickly and efficiently repair leaking water service lines
– a significant source of lost water – without worrying about the
cost and challenge of managing this type of repair.
Beyond this, HomeServe and USP have also served as an
information resource for homeowners and utilities alike. The
Company has shared useful water saving tips to improve efficiency
in household water consumptions, such as installing low-flow
fixtures and aerators on faucets, displacing water in toilet tanks,
fixing leaks, and more. In 2016, HomeServe published “What Lies
Beneath the Surface,” a white paper offering solutions for
utilities to address the challenges created by non-revenue water
(NRW), which refers to the water that is lost along the way as
utilities deliver water to their customers’ homes, often due to
leakage or wastage.
