TOWNSHIP CELEBRATES "FIX A LEAK WEEK" MARCH 16-20
As part of the Water Conservation Pilot Project for New Jersey, the Township of Livingston celebrated “Fix a Leak Week” March 16-20.Sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) WaterSense® program, this week is an opportunity to improve the water efficiency of your homes by checking for and fixing leaks, which waste an average of 11,000 gallons of water per home each year. That’s more than enough water to fill up a backyard swimming pool! Fixing leaks not only saves water but money too.
Nationwide, more than one trillion gallons of water leak from U.S. homes each year. That's why the Township is promoting “Fix a Leak Week” from March 16 to 20, 2009, to remind residents to check their plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks. Free leak detection kits and brochures on water conservation were available.
For more information contact Renee Resky at (973) 992-5000 ext 503 or rresky@livingstonnj.org or Elaine Rossi-Griffin at (732) 932-9800 ext 6129 or visit the US EPA's waterSense website.
The Township of Livingston is one of five towns statewide participating in New Jersey’s Water Conservation Pilot Program, sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency Region 2, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The program’s goal is to reduce potable water usage by 10% over three years by providing tools to residents and schools to conserve water.
