Spot leaks, save water during National Fix a Leak week!

Published on March 16, 2026

It's National Fix a Leak week! During this time, it's a good reminder to check your home to find and repair water leaks on your property. Minor leaks account for more than a trillion gallons of water wasted each year in U.S. Homes. Water is a precious resource and it’s important to manage its use efficiently to meet future needs, save money on your water bill, decrease energy use and preserve the environment. We ask that our community does their part to ensure we are not wasting water by regularly checking your property for water leaks.

Helpful resources:

• Visit the detect a water leak webpage for simple steps that can help you to determine if you have a water leak on your property.
• Request a self-audit leak toolkit which assists customers to measure the flow rate of their faucets and identify where to look for potential leaks.
• Request a free water saving fixture such as a low flow shower head or bathroom sink aerator.
• For more water conservation rebates and incentive programs visit the City’s water conservation webpage.
• Coming soon… Menlo Park Municipal Water customers will have access to hourly water usage data and automated leak alerts. Visit menlopark.gov/AMI for more information on the project.
