Develop a public relations pr02ram to disseminate water conservation information
and materials

Status: Conservation information, printed materials, videos, and presentations are
available upon request Water conservation information is periodically included in utility
bills and on the telephone hold que for Utility Billing and the information displays at the
Civic Center; articles are printed in the monthly CityLine newsletter.

Implementation: Expand program utilizing:
. Professionally designed materials (brochures, posters, newspaper inserts) that emphasize
the positive effects of water conservation on life style (i.e., there's enough hot water for
four people to shower in the morning with a low-flow shower head; a mulching lawn
mower saves bagging and fertilizes the lawn).
. Public displays.
. Innovative programs (i.e., work with the newspaper on a feature article following
volunteer families using no water for a day).
. Coupons in utility bills for discounts at participating retail stores on low-flow plumbing
fixtures, alternative grasses and low water-use plant materials (rather than City-funded
rebate programs and free conservation kit distribution).
