Water Leaks Can Cost You
How much money are your leaks costing?
It's a tiny leak, how bad could it be?
Ev teardrop_icon.gif en small leaks and drips add up
fast. For example:
  • Dripping indoor faucet = $10/month
  • Dribbling or steady stream outdoor faucet = $50-$100/month
  • Leaking Toilet = $50-$100/month
  • Total = $110-$210/month or $1,320-$2,520/year
Did you know that the most common cause of dripping faucets and shower heads is a worn-out-washer? Did you know the cost of the washer needed to repair a leak is less than 10 cents?

If your water bill suddenly increases, but you haven't changed the way you use water, chances are you've sprung a leak. If you can not identify visible leaks, read your water meter. It's good preventive
maintenance to conduct a leak check of your house once or twice
a year.

How to Read Your Meter:
  1. Turn off all water-inside and outside, including your automatic icemaker and evaporative cooler.
  2. Record the reading on your water meter.
  3. Wait 30 minutes.
  4. Record the new reading on your water meter. If the reading has changed, you have a leak.

Landscape Irrigation
Water Demand Management Strategy
District residents are starting to water their landscaping.  The District has a Water Demand Management Strategy in place to help it meet the increased water demands that come with landscape irrigation.  The District requests that residential and commercial landscape irrigation be limited to three days a week based on your street address as follows: 
  • Odd-numbered street addresses:  Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
  • Even-numbered street addresses:  Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday
Additionally, the District's Rules and Regulations states, "Irrigation systems, either manual or automatic, shall only be operated during off-peak energy usage periods (10:00 p.m. through 10:00 a.m.)." 

See more about the District's Water Demand Strategy.
