Water Saving Tips for the Hot, Dry Summer & Fall Months

The rain and snow earlier this year have improved our water supplies tremendously. Most of California is now drought-free, but we know drought will recur—and we know that in the long term, we use more water than Mother Nature provides.

On the positive side, with imported water deliveries from northern California through the State Water Project at 100% this year, we will have more imported water available to replenish our local groundwater supplies than in recent years. Additionally, long-term investments in the Delta Conservation Plan, the Pure Water Southern California recycled water project, member city infrastructure, and the District’s own pipeline and facilities may deliver greater stability and sustainability for our water supplies in the future.

Conservation is another valuable practice to preserve our improved water supplies, especially since water usage increases during the hot, dry summer months. We’ve highlighted water savings tips for you to use around the house, indoors, and outdoors. If we can increase our water saving, we can make our precious groundwater supplies last even longer!
