As residents of Southern California, it is important to remember that we live in a semi-arid area that receives unpredictable amounts of rainfall during the winter months and has limited local water resources. Therefore, we must all work together to conserve as much water as possible to ensure adequate supplies during those hot summer months and in the years to come.
It’s a simple equation: if we use less water, our existing supplies will go further. That’s why water conservation is becoming a more significant component of City of Huntington Beach’s water supply and Water Management Program.
Water-wise living has been a way of life in Huntington Beach for many years, but it is especially important now. Current dry weather conditions, combined with constrained imported water supplies, make it essential for residents and businesses to use water as efficiently as possible. Conserving water and using it wisely has multiple benefits, as it reduces urban runoff, water pollution, energy use, and your water/sewer bill!
For more conservation tips, to receive conservation literature, or to learn more about conservation programs, please call the Utilities Division at (714) 536-5921. "Save Our Water" is a public education program website containing useful information on the state's water supply shortage and practical tips on how to save water indoors and outdoors.
