Now is as good a time as any to fix that leaky faucet -- it's "Fix a Leak Week"!
In recognition of Governor Schwarzenegger's request that Californian's step up their water conservation efforts -- the City of Fresno is reminding residents to cap those leaks.
On average -- more than 10-thousand gallons of water is wasted per household every year due to leaky faucets and toilets.
Simple ways to save water include:
* Replacing old toilets with low flow toilets and/or adjust toilet floats.
* Watering landscapes only when necessary and avoid over-watering.
* Using automatic shut off nozzles on all garden hoses.
* Teaching children to turn off the water when brushing their teeth.
