Water Conservation

Using Water Wisely is Important

Everyone can agree – water is a precious resource!

It is everyone’s duty to use water wisely in your day-to-day lives and implement easy and practical water conservation measures that help keep WSA’s reservoir full and your monthly water bill low.

There are many simple ways to fit water conservation into your day: take a shorter shower, only wash full loads of dishes or laundry, include native plants in your landscaping, or install a rain barrel to use in the garden. Check out more resources in this section to raise your water conservation IQ and then put those tips into practice.
