South Tahoe PUD would like you to help spread awareness of the importance of fixing water leaks in your home. Leaks waste our drinking water and can cause your water bill to increase. Help conserve our natural resource and save money on your bill by finding and fixing leaks.

The average household’s leaks can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year and ten percent of homes have leaks that use 90 gallons or more per day. Common types of leaks found in the home are toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and leaking valves.
