Is your toilet wasting water? We can help.
Oct 13, 2026
October is National Toilet Tank Repair Month. Yes, there's actually a month for that! While it may sound a little unusual, it's a good reminder that a running or leaking toilet can waste water and add to your utility bill.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, household leaks can waste more than 9,300 gallons of water each year. Toilets are a common source of leaks, and some are so quiet you may not even know they're happening.
Here's a simple way to check your toilet for leaks:
Is it time for a toilet upgrade?
If your toilet is older and uses more water than necessary, replacing it with a water-efficient model can help you save water with every flush. Roseville offers eligible water customers a rebate of up to $100 toward the purchase of a qualifying water-efficient toilet.
Before purchasing or replacing your toilet, you'll need to complete a pre-inspection and receive City approval to qualify for the rebate. This October, give your toilet a little attention. A quick check or a water-efficient upgrade can make a difference.

Here's a simple way to check your toilet for leaks:

- Wait 10 minutes without flushing.
- Check the bowl. If color appears, you likely have a leak. Flush afterward to prevent staining.
