Your commitment to using water wisely has made a difference! From 2020 to 2025, average residential water use per person in the San José Municipal Water service area has shown a commendable reduction, decreasing from 71 gallons to 54 gallons per day. This decrease reflects the public’s growing commitment to water conservation. The community’s efforts have been key to this positive change, showing that collective action leads to meaningful progress.

Leaks are one of the most common sources of everyday water waste. The City of San Jose encourages customers to regularly check for leaks both indoors and outdoors. For more information and helpful guidance on how to check for a home water leak, please visit SJEnvironment.org/Fix-Leaks.
