There are various reasons water leaks can happen, some of these include: pipe aging and deterioration, tree or plant roots growing into the pipes, or freezing pipes in the winter. Water is a precious commodity that needs to be preserved for future generations. For this reason Water Conservation practices have been put into effect to help preserve water for the future. However, just because water conservation practices are in use does not mean that leaks do not happen. Therefore, residents are encouraged to report any water leaks they find so that they can be fixed as soon as possible to help us all conserve water.
