Program Basics

Saving Water Partnership is a regional group of 26 local water providers that helps all of us conserve water. The goal of the program is for each of us to reduce our use of water by 1% each year for the next ten years. Doing so will help ensure adequate fresh water supplies for the future.

The goal of this program is to encourage everyone in the region to reduce their use of water by at least 1% for each of the next ten years. There are a number of ways to reach the goal of 10% total reduction.

You can choose to take a number of actions and reach your goal right away, or you can choose to do a little bit each year for each of the ten years. There is no “typical” way to meet your goal. For some, it may be easy to meet the 1% goal each year. Others may find they have been doing a lot to conserve over the years and need to turn to innovative ways to save more.

Each of us uses water a little differently; some of us water the lawn, many of our homes have water leaks, even more of us have old toilets that use more than 1.6 gallons per flush. Find the opportunities that are right for you, and set your goal to reduce your use. Don’t limit yourself to a total of 10%. If you feel you can easily reach 15%…20%, or more, go for it!
