keep us looped in on leaks! outside If you see or hear water leaking from fire hydrants, meters, street surfaces, vacant homes or catch basins, please contact SUEZ ASAP! Early reporting of leaks is the best way to save water, keep costs down and prevent environmental damage, flooding or hazardous conditions. Information such as the street name or the general vicinity of the leak will help our crews to quickly find and repair leaks. A prompt call to the toll-free customer service number on the back of this brochure is all it takes to help preserve our most precious natural resource.
inside Be sure to use your water meter to check for household leaks. First, make sure all faucets and water-using appliances are turned off. If you have an analog meter and the dial is spinning, you have a leak that should be repaired. If you have a digital meter, shine a flashlight on the meter face. If you see a flashing or lit faucet icon, you have a leak that should be repaired before it wastes water or causes damage in your home.

smart lawn watering
It’s spring and you may already be thinking about your lawn. Did you know that lawn watering can double your water usage?
Your lawn probably needs less water than you think— so here’s a tip to help you save water and money:
Smart irrigation controllers can significantly reduce overwatering by applying water only when needed.
WaterSense®-labeled irrigation controllers act like a thermostat for your sprinkler system, telling it when to turn on and off. They use local weather and landscape information to tailor watering schedules to real-time conditions. Unlike controllers with a preset schedule, smart controllers allow watering schedules to better match your lawn’s actual water needs. Replacing a standard clock timer with a WaterSense®-labeled irrigation controller can save an average home nearly 8,800 gallons of water annually. Learn more at www.EPA.gov/watersense
tap water testing Our SUEZ team and laboratories have essential roles in protecting public health. That’s why we regularly test drinking water samples. Water quality testing helps ensure that your water meets safe drinking water standards. Analytical testing is a critical activity required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state regulatory agencies.
Labs that provide drinking water testing are required to be certified to meet high quality standards. Staff members must follow strict procedures for every analysis that is performed. Thousands of analyses are performed each year to ensure the safety of your drinking water.
When it comes to safe drinking water, our SUEZ team aces the test.
