Water-Use Efficiency

To achieve water-use efficiency (WUE) goals, IEUA offers a suite of programs designed to positively impact individual long-term behavior regarding the efficient use of water.

In FY 2021/22, there were approximately 4,595 water-saving technologies/services deployed throughout the region. The water savings achieved through these regional WUE activities is approximately 451 AFY, with an estimated lifetime savings of 3,488 AF. In total, IEUA’s WUE activities result in a cumulative lifetime water savings of 153,876 AF since 1992. As mandated by State legislation, sustained reduction in water use will be met by the combined efforts of IEUA’s Customer Retail Agencies and IEUA’s continued commitment to implementing innovative WUE programs that emphasize the significance of using water wisely. Many of these programs are made possible through funding partnerships with local, State and Federal agencies, including Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the Department of Water Resources, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and public/private partnerships.
