Protect Our Environment
Water is essential for life, yet only 1% of Earth's water is available for human use. As our population grows and climate patterns change, conserving water becomes increasingly important.
- Reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
- Protect wildlife habitats and ecosystems
- Ensure water availability during drought conditions
- Postpone costly water system expansions
Our community's goal is to reduce water consumption by 15% by 2027. Join us in this important effort!
Where Does Your Water Go?
- Bathroom: 47% (Shower, toilet, sink)
- Laundry: 15% (Washing machine)
- Kitchen: 12% (Dishwasher, sink)
- Outdoor: 26% (Lawn, garden)
The average household uses about 300 gallons of water per day. Understanding where your water goes is the first step to conservation.
