Why Conserve
Water?
 Water
Conservation Saves Money
If you receive your water from a public supply, the cost of treating, pumping,
and delivering water to your home increases, as does the cost of treating the
wastewater that leaves your home. In most urban areas of the state, sewer bills
are tied to the amount of water you use. If you have a private well and septic
system, water conservation will help reduce costly repairs. You can also prolong
the life of your septic system by reducing the amount of wastewater that goes
into it.
Water
Conservation Saves Energy
Water conservation saves energy and can help to reduce your monthly bills.
Water
Conservation Reduces Pollution
Conservation reduces the amount of wastewater going to the sewage treatment
plant. This may mean better treatment and cleaner water being discharged to
our rivers and bays. If you have a septic system, conservation can prevent
septic tank and drainfield overloads and help ensure that a septic system is
treating wastewater properly.
