Did you know a typical family in Brooklyn Park uses about 300 gallons of water every day? Even small leaks—like a dripping faucet or a running toilet—can waste dozens of gallons of water daily. That’s water going straight down the drain while your utility bill continues to rise.
March 16–22 is Fix a Leak Week, a nationwide effort to encourage residents to find and fix household leaks. Taking a few minutes to check for leaks in your home can help you:
• Save water
• Lower your utility bills
• Protect reliable water supplies for today and future generations
Common places to check include faucets, toilets, showerheads, irrigation systems, and outdoor spigots. Many leaks are easy to fix and can make a noticeable difference in your water use.
The City of Brooklyn Park also offers water rebate programs that can help offset the cost of replacing older toilets, clothes washers, dishwashers, and irrigation system controllers. To learn more about eligibility and how to apply, visit:
