Water Conservation Benefits All

Water conservation is important to everyone. Conserving water not only benefits our natural ecosystems, but also provides other benefits such as:

  • Keeping the City’s water infrastructure running efficiently while delaying costs to upgrade our water infrastructure
  • Helping to ensure that water demand is available for unforeseen emergencies (e.g. major service disruption, firefighting)
