GOT A LEAK?

A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per day while racking up your water bill. This a problem you’ll want to address quickly! The best way to fix a running toilet is to start by inspecting the toilet flapper for issues. Toilet flapper issues are one of the most common causes of a running toilet. If the toilet flapper seems fine, try adjusting the water level of your toilet. Finally, if your toilet is still running, you’ll probably need to replace the toilet fill valve.

Checking for irrigation leaks

1. Taller, greener vegetation or moss growing around the sprinkler heads are signs of a damaged or dirty valve. Clean and replace worn parts.

2. Wet spots, mud, and eroding soil may indicate a broken pipe. Dry spots in your lawn could also be a sign that a sprinkler is damaged. To locate the source of the leak, dig around the sprinkler.

3. Wet spots on pavement also indicate possible leaks. Watch your sprinklers to determine which one is showering the pavement. Turn off the water, and check the sprinkler head and riser. Sprinklers spouting geysers indicate broken sprinkler heads. Replace them quickly to conserve water.
