Elk Grove Water District

Take Shorter Showers! A typical shower uses five to ten gallons of water a minute. Limit your showers to the time it takes to soap up, wash down and rise off.

Check out our facilities where we pull, treat and store water for the our district.

What’s the most common type of leak inside your home? A toilet leak, which can waste 200 gallons of water per day--enough for 600 dog baths per month! The cause is often a worn toilet flapper. See how to replace it at https://tinyurl.com/soosxrb

A small leak in a sprinkler system can waste 6,000 gallons of water per month. Be on the lookout for wet or soft spots in your lawn, broken sprinkler nozzles, and water dripping from your garden hose. Find out more at: https://www.epa.gov/watersense/fix-leak-week#Outdoor%20
