The fill valve may be faulty. Correcting this problem can save up to 50 gallons of water a day, saving you money on your water bill. Here's how to do it Is your toilet cycling on and off? Does it make an occasional hissing noise? The rubber flapper at the bottom of the tank is not seating properly, causing water to slowly drain from the tank. Adjusting or replacing the flapper will usually fix this problem. Here's how to do it If you're not sure whether your toilet is leaking, it's easy to check for a leak. Click on this link to learn more: How to Detect a Toilet Leak If you need to test your toilet for a leak, we have free non-toxic dye tablet tests (complete with instructions) available for pick-up at our office. Fixing Leaky Faucets A dripping faucet can cause your water bill to be unusually high. While they're usually easily noticed inside the home, outside faucets often go unchecked—because they're not something you see regularly. The same is true of garden hose nozzles, even in the off position, they will often have a slow leak. It's always best to turn off garden hoses at the faucet, rather than relying on the nozzle. Whether it's an inside or outside faucet that's leaking, check out these tips on how to Repair a Faucet Leak to get it fixed. Keeping Irrigation Systems in Check Next to a leaky toilet, your home, business, or school’s irrigation system is often the #1 culprit in high water bills. It's important to inspect and tune up your system at least once a year, using the guidelines below. For a more in-depth explanation of all irrigation systems and their proper tune-up steps, visit this website: http://www.irrigationtutorials.com/faq/tune-up.htm Spray-Type Sprinklers: Remove the nozzle from each head and clean the screen with an old toothbrush. Turn on the sprinklers and look for partially blocked nozzles. If the fan-shaped spray of water is not even and uniform, a grain of sand is likely stuck in the nozzle. Use a plastic or wood tool (like a toothpick) rather than a metal knife blade, because nozzles are easy to scratch, and scratches can ruin the spray pattern. Even better, replace the nozzle. Using the adjustment screw on top of each nozzle, adjust the water direction. If the heads are creating a lot of mist, turn the screw clockwise. After adjusting, make sure the spray still goes all the way to the next sprinkler. Drip Irrigation Systems: Turn on the water and inspect each drip or spray nozzle to locate and replace or repair any that have become dislodged, clogged, or been damaged by rodents. Check your timer regularly and adjust according to the season. At the end of the season, drain the system and store timers in the garage or another area of your home that won't drop below freezing. Rotor-Type Sprinklers: Turn on each valve, one at a time, and carefully inspect your irrigation system. Look for wet spots that could indicate a leaking irrigation pipe. Repair any leaks. Replace the controller battery. Straighten any sprinkler heads that are leaning to the side (leaning heads create dry spots and waste water). Replace any broken or malfunctioning sprinklers with the same brand and model as the other sprinklers on the same valve circuit; note: most manufacturers use different flow rates in their sprinkler heads so it’s important to get the same brand and model. Winterization Checklist Shut Off Water Protect Your Pipes Disconnect and drain all garden hoses. Insulate exterior pipes and faucets with newspaper, rags, or insulating material, then cover with plastic and secure with string or wire. You can also use electric heat tape. Insulate interior pipes and faucets located in cold areas of your home (including unheated attics, basements, garages and crawl spaces) the same way as Step 2. Locate your home’s main water shut-off valve and test it prior to an emergency, so you can stop excessive water loss and flooding if a pipe breaks. If it's not easily turned by hand, use a wrench to turn it firmly—but gently—in a clockwise direction. Alternatively, you can turn off your water at the meter box by using a “Water Meter Valve Key” tool (shown below; costs roughly $15 at most hardware stores). Locating Your Main Water Shut-Off Valve: This valve is either round or shaped like a lever. It’s usually located in your basement, crawlspace, garage, or outdoor foundation, often near the front faucet. Turn or move it to the right to shut off the main water supply to your house. If you are having difficulties, just give us a call at (425) 337-3647. Additional Safety Measures If you have a yard sprinkler system, drain and blow out the system completely. On extra cold nights, open the doors of closets or cabinets that are located near water pipes on your home’s exterior walls. For maximum protection, apply caulk around incoming pipes, and close or block your home’s foundation vents during the coldest months (open them up once the threat of freezing has passed to prevent dry rot). If you have a second home or cabin that is left unoccupied for several days (or longer)... Turn off the main water shut-off valve. Turn off the electricity or gas to the water heater. If the house is going to be vacant for an extended length of time, the water heater should also be drained. Open and drain indoor and outdoor faucets. After the water is turned off, flush the toilet once to drain the tank but not the bowl. Leave the heat on at a minimum temperature to help keep pipes from freezing in the walls. Thaw Frozen Pipe How to Thaw a Frozen Pipe If you turn on a faucet and only a little trickle (or no water) comes out, your pipe is probably frozen. 1. Locate the suspected frozen area of the pipe—usually where pipes are up against exterior walls, or where your water service enters your home through the foundation. 2. Turn on the faucet closest to the suspected frozen area. This will allow water to flow through the pipe once the frozen area begins to melt, which will help more ice melt inside the pipe. 3. SLOWLY try to thaw the frozen section of pipe. Soak some old rags in hot water and wrap them around the pipe. When the wet rags cool, re-soak them in hot water and continue to apply until water begins to flow again. DO NOT... use an open flame such as a blowtorch, kerosene or propane heater, charcoal stove, candle, or cigarette lighter, as this can cause the water in the frozen pipe to boil and explode the pipe. Open flames also present a serious fire danger, as well as exposure to lethal carbon monoxide. What to Do if a Pipe Breaks IMMEDIATELY turn off the main water shut-off valve to minimize flooding and damage. If you’re unable to turn off your water, call us for help at (425) 337-3647. Our crews are very busy during freeze emergencies, so we may not be able to respond in time to prevent flooding damage...this is why it’s critical that you know the location of your main water shut-off valve (and how to turn it off). It’s also important to keep your water meter unobstructed for easy access. Remember, you are responsible for protecting and repairing the section of water pipes that run from the water meter, all the way into your home.

Replace worn toilet flappers, and consider replacing old toilets with water-saving newer models. Learn more Faucets are the second most common cause of water leaks. Replace rubber washers and gaskets in your faucets, hoses and shower heads. Learn more Take showers instead of baths: a 4-5 minute shower uses roughly 10 gallons of water compared to up to 50 gallons for a bath. Take shorter showers: every minute is 2.5 gallons! Install energy efficient shower heads, toilets, and faucet nozzles. Turn off the tap while shaving or brushing teeth. Fix leaky faucets, hose bibs, sprinkler heads, and toilet flappers. Wash large loads of laundry and wait until your dishwasher is full to run it. If you've only got a few dirty plates or you're in a small household where it's not practical to wait until the dishwasher's full, you're better off washing in the sink. Just remember to turn off the water while you're scrubbing. When changing out your pet's water dish or draining the aquarium to clean, use the old water on house plants. Pay close attention to your containers: unglazed terra cotta clay containers are beautiful, but they dry out quickly. Wherever possible, choose glazed ceramic, plastic, or other hard-material pots. During Summer's Peak Usage / Higher Rates Check irrigation systems for freeze damage, broken parts, and slow leaks (this tip can save schools and other municipal facilities thousands of dollars every year!) Unusually damp or green patches of grass are usually the first sign of a leak. Inspect your irrigation system for leaks and breaks at least once a month while it is being used. Water early or late in the day to reduce evaporation. Avoid watering in the head of the day and/or when it's windy. Apply water to the roots, not the foliage: Watering the roots reduces evaporation and the risk of plant disease. Using tools that direct water to the roots—like a water wand or a drip irrigation system—will help keep water where it is most useful. Water outdoor plants twice a week; apply directly by hand. Install drip irrigation for maximum watering efficiency. Apply a layer of mulch around plants to help retain water. Let your lawn go dormant: water deeply once a month to keep roots alive. Use a broom or ShopVac rather than a hose to clean sidewalks, driveways and patios, rather than hosing them down—this can save up to 150 gallons each time! Save pressure washing jobs until Fall rains return. Wash cars less often, at locations that recycle water. Turn off your garden hose at the faucet, not at the nozzle (nozzles are notorious for slow leaks).

Contact Us Help Us Keep Your Water Safe with Cross Connection Control Keeping water safe is a two-way street. We rely on you, our customers, to be aware of any cross connection to the water system that you might have on your property, and to protect those connections with a Backflow Prevention Device to ensure the safety of our drinking water. What is a Cross Connection? A cross connection is a point in a plumbing system where it is possible for a non-potable substance to come into contact with the potable drinking water supply. For homeowners, these commonly include irrigation systems, private fire sprinkler systems, boiler systems, and pool or pond equipment. What is Backflow? Backflow occurs when water or other substances flow in the opposite direction than intended—such as the water in an irrigation system flowing back towards the water source once it's turned off—which allows contaminants to enter the public water system or consumer's plumbing. A backflow incident occurs when biological, chemical, or physical contaminants enter the drinking water supply (under backflow conditions) via unprotected cross-connections. Backflow incidents may cause injury, illness, or death. What is Required to Keep Water Safe? In our complex water system, everything is connected. Washington State Administrative Code (WAC 246-290-490 ) requires customers to install, maintain, and test Backflow Prevention assemblies (examples shown above) to keep pollutants and contaminants from entering the clean drinking water system and prevent backflow incidents. This same Code requires Silver Lake Water & Sewer District maintain a backflow prevention program, in which we send out annual reminder letters to customers with Backflow Prevention Devices when their device's annual test is due. What Are Your Responsibilities? If you have irrigation, fire sprinkler or other water-using systems, you will need to: Have a Backflow Prevention Device installed at the connection between your systems and the District's public water system; Have a state certified Backflow Assembly Test performed annually (see a link to a list of certified testers below); and The tester is required to send in your test report using our online portal: Tokay WebTest Portal .
