Why the 20-gallon challenge?

The average person uses approximately 180 gallons of water per day.  By saving 20-gallons a day customers are helping achieve a 10% reduction in use.

The need for the 20-gallon challenge

Historic dry conditions in  California and in the Colorado River Basin have reduced the supply of imported water available to Southern California to the point where the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), the San Diego region's primary water supplier, is withdrawing water from storage to meet current-year demands.  In addition, there are several legal challenges facing the State Water Project that threaten the project's ability to deliver expected water supplies to MWD and, in turn, our region.  If dry conditions continue this year and into next year, it may be more challenging for water agencies to meet water demands in 2008.

The more water we save now, the more water we will have in storage to meet future demands should dry conditions continue into 2008 and beyond.

How to Save!!

Saving water can be easier than you think.  A few small changes can make a big difference in your water usage.  Click here Conservation Tips  for tips for residents on how to conserve water inside and outside your home and business:
