Birmingham Water Works hands out free toilet flapper kits as part of Fix a Leak Week

Birmingham Water Works (BWWB) will be handing out free toilet flapper repair kits the week of Mar. 20 as part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) annual Fix a Leak Week.

BWWB spokesman Rick Jackson said these kits could help customers save money on their bill.

The kits will be available at the BWWB payment center at 3600 1st Avenue North in Birmingham.

“Fix a Leak Week is an annual initiative the EPA hosts every March to encourage Americans to identify and repair household leaks inside and outside their homes,” reads a press release from BWWB.

“These leaks contribute to over 1 trillion gallons of wasted water nationwide each year. Addressing these common issues can save consumers up to ten percent on their monthly water bills.
