The Alameda County Water District (ACWD) promoted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) WaterSense program’s annual ‘Fix a Leak Week’, March 20th – 26th, 2023. As a promotional partner, ACWD hosted two special webinar segments of our virtual office hours that focused on how to find and fix leaks. The Water Use Efficiency staff taught about common sources of leaks around your home and how to use the new ACWD My Smart Water Connect Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) customer portal to detect potential leaks. Staff also provided information about ACWD’s water use efficiency programs and the EPA WaterSense program.
