This week, Richardson has been celebrating Fix a Leak Week, an EPA WaterSense program, to bring attention to water waste in the home and encourage residents to check for leaks and drips. Through Sunday, March 23, free toilet leak detection tablet packs are being distributed at several city facilities during normal business hours (while supplies last).  

  • Heights Recreation Center, 711 W. Arapaho Rd. 
  • Huffhines Recreation Center, 200 N. Plano Rd. 
  • Senior Center, 820 W. Arapaho Rd.  

Did you know that a toilet leak can waste more than 200 gallons of water a day and is one of the largest water wasters in a home? Although you can usually hear a running toilet, some toilet leaks are silent.
