The Sweetwater Authority is offering a rebate of up to $75 for repairs associated with leak repairs through the end of June.
Customers who request repairs associated with leaks from March 1 through June 30 will be eligible to receive a rebate of up to $75. The rebate comes in celebration of the national Fix a Leak Week, serving as an annual reminder to check household plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks.
“Minor water leaks account for more than a trillion gallons of water wasted each year in homes across the country.,” the SWA wrote in a statement. ”To promote the importance of repairing leaks as a means to conserve and protect everyone’s water supply, Fix a Leak Week was created by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program.”
The SWA is offering customers a $75 rebate to replace or install a new pressure-reducing valve in their homes. According to officials, these valves will help address high pressure that can cause increased wear on fittings, making them more prone to leaks.
A rebate of up to $100 is also available for qualifying leak detectors and flow monitors, which can alert customers to potential leaks through an app on their smartphone.
To learn more about the leak repair rebate, or to schedule a free water audit for your home or business, please call the Authority’s Water Efficiency helpline at (619) 409-6779 or email waterefficiency@sweetwater.org.
