Our Water Use Efficiency goal, adopted 9/15/25, is to reduce water usage system wide an average of 2% per year every year for the next 6 years.  We will do the following to achieve this goal:

~Educate our customers how to conserve their water usage.  We will put tips on this web site and send out a flyer annually.

~Notify customers of potential leaks on their property.  We will do this monthly as needed.

~Explore a tiered rate structure to incentivize conservation.  We will do this at the next Board meeting, February of 2026.

~We will evaluate existing water meters and develop a schedule for replacement 10% of our meters per year until all meters are within rated lifespan.

 Water conservation: it all starts with you  Water conservation — using water efficiently and avoiding waste — is essential to ensure that we have adequate water today and into the future. Water is a finite resource. The supply on Earth today is the same as what was here at the beginning of the planet. It is up to all of us to use water wisely, and it is as simple as each of us making small changes. Make conserving water a daily part of your life. And remember when you save water, you save energy and money!
