Fillmore Gardens Toilet Leak Detection Initiative

This City of Phoenix meeting on May 22, 2026, focused on the expansion of a toilet leak detection program at Fillmore Gardens, building on a successful pilot at Sunnyslope Manor. The initiative involves installing smart leak detection technology to help maintenance crews identify and address toilet leaks in real time, thereby conserving water and reducing waste. The program is a public-private partnership involving the City of Phoenix Water Services and Housing Departments, Sensor Industries, Target, and the Pacific Institute. Speakers emphasized the importance of water conservation in the desert community, the cost savings from reducing water waste, and the collaborative approach among city departments, nonprofits, and private industry. While no specific contract awards or dollar amounts were detailed, the meeting highlighted investment in innovative water conservation technology and partnerships to improve operational efficiency and sustainability in affordable housing communities.
