So What Did We Learn?
When Everyone Conserves, Everyone Saves.
Water rates are rising, but when communities conserve, they don't go up nearly as much.
Each water and wastewater customer has avoided the costs of acquiring, delivering, and treating
additional water supplies that would have been necessary - had they not conserved.
Individual actions add up! When everyone does their part to conserve, the entire community benefits
from lower rates in the long-term, sustainable water supplies, and healthier watersheds.
