weekly watering number
Ever wonder just how much water your lawn and other plants need each week? From March - October, the Consortium publishes a weekly watering number each Thursday. 

Leaks
Outdoor leaks can have a major effect on your water usage. For example, when an automatic irrigation system develops a leak, often you don’t even know because the bulk of the system is underground. This can lead to huge amounts of wasted water — and soaring water bills.

It’s a good idea to check regularly to make sure your irrigation system and other outdoor water sources don’t have leaks.

To help, we’ve compiled information on Using Your Water Meter to Test for Leaks (PDF) and How to Find Outdoor Leaks (PDF).
