RESOLUTION NO. 2012-01

 

A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the

Monterey Peninsula Water Management District

Declaring March 12-18, 2012, to be “FIX A LEAK WEEK”

 

WHEREAS, water is a precious life resource which must be conserved and protected to ensure a healthy and vibrant community; and

 

WHEREAS, the Monterey Peninsula faces severe water restrictions on its two sources of supply, the Carmel River and the Seaside Groundwater Basin; and

 

WHEREAS, residents of the Monterey Peninsula are among the lowest water consumers in the state, but protection of our limited water resources requires additional water conservation be achieved; and

 

WHEREAS, on average, household water leaks can account for 10,000 gallons of water wasted each year, which is enough to fill a small swimming pool.   In addition, minor residential water leaks account for more than one trillion gallons of wasted water in U.S. homes annually; and

 

WHEREAS, correcting easily fixed leaks in the home is not only good for our water supply and environment, it helps the residents of the Monterey Peninsula reduce their water usage and save money; and

 

WHEREAS, do-it-yourself fixes such as replacement of worn faucet washers and gaskets, leaky toilet flappers, garden hoses and loose spigots can save significant amounts of water; and

 

WHEREAS, to remind water users to check their household and business plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks, the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program initiated a national Fix a Leak Week for the week of March 12-18, 2012; and

 

WHEREAS, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District promotes water conservation, water use efficiency and the elimination of water waste.

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District that March 12-18, 2012, shall be declared “Fix a Leak Week.”
