Water conservation should not be for emergencies; it should be a way of life.
Everyone can play a role in ensuring the continued availability of our water supply. Conserving water today saves you money on your water and sewer bills, reduces the cost of building new water and wastewater infrastructure, and leaves more water in rivers and lakes for you to enjoy.
Much of the water consumed by an average American household is used outdoors: landscape irrigation, car washing, maintaining swimming pools, cleaning sidewalks and driveways, etc. It is here where we can make simple but significant changes that will have a positive effect.
