Community Tips

View the following water conversation tips:

• Encourage your employer to promote water conservation in the workplace. Suggest that water conservation be put in employee orientation and training programs.
• Report all significant water losses (broken pipes, open hydrants, errant sprinklers, abandoned free-flowing wells, etc.) to the property owner, local authorities or the Water Utility Division.
• Encourage your school system to promote a water conservation ethic among children.
• Support projects that will lead to an increased use of reclaimed wastewater for irrigation and other uses.
• Support efforts and programs that create a concern for water conservation among tourists and visitors to our state. Make sure your visitors understand the need for, and benefits of, water conservation.
• Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water-conscious community. Promote water conservation in community newsletters, on bulletin boards and by example. Encourage your friends, neighbors and co-workers to do their part.
• Conserve water because it is the right thing to do. Don't waste water just because someone else is footing the bill, such as when you are staying at a hotel.
• Try to do one thing each day that will result in saving water. Don't worry if the savings are minimal. Every drop counts. You can make a difference.
