Take a moment this March to check your water usage. Is it higher than usual? Do you have a leak?
In honor of Fix a Leak Week running from March 17 to 21, 2025, we are offering kits that will help you find leaks, track your water usage, and learn about water conservation.
Stop at our office or the Sun Prairie Public Library to grab a free English or Spanish kit, which includes:
-
Dye tabs (to test for a toilet leak)
-
Leak checklist
-
Flow rate bag (to measure water flow rate of a faucet or shower)
-
MyAccount threshold alert set up how-to
-
Water conservation wheel (tips for conserving water)
-
SPU pen
-
'Leak Detective' sticker
-
'Spot the Leak' coloring page
-
Educational activity page
-
Coloring book
Currently, 80% of our customers have an AMI water meter. If you are one of them, the kit will also have a how-to on signing up for water threshold alerts in MyAccount, making it easier to know when your property has reached a specific usage level. All you have to do is log into your MyAccount, click Alerts, scroll to Usage, and click 'Add' for Usage Threshold.
MyAccount also has Water Leak Detection Alerts for those interested in getting notified if there's been continuous or higher-than-normal water usage in their home. Simply log into your MyAccount, click Alerts, scroll to Service, and add your email or phone number.
Kits will be available until the end of March, while supplies last. You can find them at the Sun Prairie Public Library and the Sun Prairie Utilities office.
