Drought and Shortage

Ways to Maximize Your Water Savings at Home

Know Your Numbers – Comparing how much water you use with how much you should be using is a good way to reduce consumption. These tools can help you create a water budget to manage your household usage.

My Utility Account – Look at your paper bill or log into the online portal to see your utility bill and how much water you use monthly (including past/historic water usage).
Water Calculator – Use our online ‘Know Your H2O’ tool to see how much water you and your family should be using inside and outside your home. Once you see the estimates, you can order a free water-saving kit.

Find and Fix Leaks – On average, a household leak can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted each year, or the amount of water needed to wash 270 loads of laundry.
