SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) is encouraging Illinoisans to check their household plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks as a part of national Fix-a-Leak Week this March 17-23, 2025. “Household leaks waste approximately 1 trillion gallons of water in the US each year.
