Know the Facts, Save Water!

Because we live in a desert, water is our most important and precious resource and we must all do our part to use water wisely and insure an adequate water supply for future generations. Water conservation will not only help save water; it will also save you money.

To promote water conservation the District has adopted a conservation based rate structure for summer water usage. But there are ways for consumers to reduce their water consumption and their bills! The following tips can help you do your part to live a more water-wise lifestyle.

 

On average, more than half of residential water use is for outdoors.

75% of indoor water usage occurs in your bathroom. Installing conservation devices, taking shorter showers, and turning off the faucet when it’s not being directly used will save water.

Your cooler may use from 50 to 200 gallons per day just to keep you and your family comfortable.

90% of leaks are found at the toilet tank, usually at the flapper plug. Flappers are commonly found at home improvement stores and can be easily replaced by the “do-it-yourselfer.” Severe toilet leaks can silently waste 24-100 gallons of water per day, up to 3,000 gallons per month.
