As #FixALeak Week comes to a close, remember that you can still check for leaks all year long! When it’s time to start up your sprinkler system, check for broken sprinklers or nozzles spraying in the wrong direction, and check the zones and run times.

You may want to consult an irrigation professional or contact our Water Efficiency Team for a FREE sprinkler survey. Stay tuned for more tips before the watering season begins! #FixALeak

Another simple step you can take outside is to check your water meter. Turn off all water-using appliances/fixtures (including automatic ice makers) before leaving the house for an hour or two. Write down the numbers from your meter and do the same as soon as you return. If the numbers are different, you likely have a leak.

Bonus Tip: If your water meter has a red leak indicator dial, you can use it to check as well! If it is turning while all water is off, you likely have a leak. #FixALeak

Water meters are located in concrete boxes in the ground usually at the property line in front of or behind your home. It’s a good idea to locate yours and acquaint yourself with turning your water supply off/on before a water emergency occurs. medfordwater.org/yourmeter

Don`t forget garden hoses! If your garden hose leaks at its connection to the spigot while you run it, replace the nylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tight connection to the spigot using pipe tape and a wrench. #FixALeak

When you go for a drink, check for drips at the sink! Many faucet leaks can also be easily fixed by tightening the fitting or replacing an inexpensive O-ring. Other tips: bit.ly/4hnZ6Io. #FixALeak

You can be a leak detective outside of the bathroom too! In the kitchen, check your faucet gaskets and washers. Pooling water underneath dishwashers and refrigerators with ice makers could indicate a supply line leak. #FixALeak

Don’t flush money down the drain! If you do need to replace an entire toilet, look for the WaterSense logo. With WaterSense certified toilets, you’ll flush about 70% less water than one installed prior to 1994, and 20% less than the current standard 1.6 gallon per flush toilet. You might find that you’ll save even more since hidden leaks in old toilets are very common. bit.ly/3K6kLHy #FixALeak
