Make Your Home Water Wise with Help from CCWD

Sometimes the smallest leaks or unnoticed irrigation quirks can quietly drive-up water use. That's where CCWD's Water Wise House Call comes in. This free, personalized home visit is all about helping you spot ways to save water and use it more efficiently, including identifying those hidden leaks!

A Personalized Visit, Packed with Tips

During a roughly 60- to 90-minute appointment, one of our trained Water Use Efficiency Technicians will:

  • Check your irrigation system and suggest adjustments that match your landscape, plus provide an irrigation schedule you can follow year-round.
  • Show you how to read your water meter and detect hidden leaks.
  • Test your toilets with dye tablets to check for leaks.
  • Provide helpful water-saving tools, from hose nozzles to showerheads.

What We Often Find

Many homeowners are surprised at what a visit can reveal:

  • Toilets with small leaks can waste up to 30 gallons per day.
  • Irrigation systems that are watering more than needed.
  • Stuck pool fill valves or other fixtures leaking quietly in the background.

Fixing even one or two of these issues can make a noticeable difference in your water use and your household water costs.
