California American Water Offers Residential Water Audits for Homes and Apartments in San Diego County

SAN DIEGO, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- California American Water, in coordination with Water Wise, is offering free on-site surveys of indoor and landscape water use to residential customers within the company's San Diego County service district.  

The indoor survey includes a test of showerhead and faucet flow rates, an estimate of toilet flush volumes and a test for leaks.  The landscape survey includes a review of the irrigation system, irrigation design and watering schedules.  The survey also includes reading the meter to reveal possible leaks in the customer's system.  California American Water's water survey program is a free service offered to customers to help them save water inside and outside and lower their water bill.

"Our customers will work one-on-one with trained surveyors to analyze how water is being used both indoors and outdoors," said California American Water's Operations Manager Chris Mattis.  "Customers will also learn how to tell when they are over-watering their landscape and receive information on drought tolerant plants."

Customers will be provided a set of recommendations for improving water-use efficiency and a packet of educational materials that includes information on toilet, clothes washer and landscape rebate programs.  California American Water will also provide free conservation kits with water-saving devices, including low-flow showerheads and garden hose nozzles at each meeting.

"The free Water Wise water audits show customers how implementing recommended conservation measures can result in water savings," Mattis said. "California American Water is committed to giving our San Diego County service district customers the knowledge, tools, programs and resources necessary to reduce their water use and save money."

California American Water customers are encouraged to sign up for a Water Wise home water survey and may schedule an appointment by contacting Helen Lau.  Helen can be reached at
