SMART Home Water Conservation Kit
 Many
people look at a leaky faucet in their home and don’t really think
about how much water might be wasted. They’re often surprised to learn
that a leak of just 60 drops per minute can waste approximately 192
gallons a month, or nearly 2,500 gallons per year! A toilet
leak can be even more wasteful, potentially losing up to hundreds of gallons
a day.
To help reduce these and other household wastes of our valuable water supply,
Redwood City is offering FREE home water conservation
kits to residents. These kits will help you detect leaks in faucets
and toilets, determine if your fixtures are water efficient, and offer tips
on how to make your home "water tight and waste free."

Conservation Kit brochure.
Here’s what’s included in the free water conservation kit:
- Two faucet sink aerators, and a variable dual setting kitchen faucet
