-
Turn off irrigation during rain
-
Repair leaks within 7 days of discovery
-
Use a hose with a shut-off nozzle to wash vehicles or use an automatic commercial car wash

Restaurants serve water only upon request
-
Hotels offer guests the option to not launder linen daily
Help Make a Difference
We're asking our customers to watch their daily water usage and find ways to cut back. If we apply simple, common sense water-saving measures to our daily lives, we'll build a resilient water supply this year and for years to come.
Remember: The water we save today may be the water we need tomorrow!
