Conservation

A Message From Your Commissioners

By using water wisely, you can save money and help protect our environment. There are many ways to increase water efficiency in your home, such as detecting and fixing leaky faucets, installing high-efficiency clothes washers and toilets, and watering the lawn and garden with the minimum amount of water needed. Since watering the landscape with an automatic irrigation system is likely the single largest use of water in the home, you can dramatically improve water efficiency by using proper irrigation and scheduling techniques such as cycling the sprinklers.

Using water-saving techniques not only can save you hundreds of dollars per year but also can reduce the amount of pollutants entering rivers, lakes, and streams. In addition, efficient water use can reduce water and wastewater treatment costs and the amount of energy used to treat, pump, and heat water. And it could help to ease the burden on water resources during drought conditions.
