American families waste nearly one trillion gallons of water each year due to preventable leaks. These leaks, ranging from small drips to catastrophic floods, can result in high water bills and steep repair costs for homeowners—water damage in homes is six times more likely than fire damage and eight times more likely than theft. Every year, insurance companies pay out $15 billion to customers as a result of water damage with a significant amount tied to leaks

The event will be attended by Raquel Regalado, Miami-Dade County Commissioner, District 7, Roberto Gonzalez, Miami-Dade County Commissioner, District 11, JS Rashid, President of Public-Private Partners, Inc. and Vice President of the Board of Directors of Rebuilding Together Miami-Dade Jeff Barnes, Vice President, Business Development, Moen
