Water Conservation 

 

 

Water Conservation Program

 

The City of Avondale’s water conservation program is an important part of the management and planning of the City’s limited water resources for today and into the future.

 

The city is involved at the local, regional, and national levels of water conservation education to provide the most beneficial ways to conserve water.

 

By developing a few easy, common-sense water use habits, our customers can continue their current lifestyle while saving water, money and helping the City reach its water conservation goals.

Programs such as leak detection, school presentations, residential landscape classes, indoor and outdoor rebates, water audits have been integral parts of Avondale’s water conservation programs for many years.

 

The city promotes conservation techniques year-round, regardless of the amount of available water, or the existence of a drought to help residents continue to conserve precious water for the future and enjoy their quality of life in the City of Avondale.

Water: Use it Wisely

 

 

 

  475 Drips Pledge to Change Their Wasting Ways

Or at least that’s how many Americans took the pledge to fix a leak. Each of these households could potentially save more than 11,000 gallons per year by eliminating household leaks.

If all 475 households honor their pledge, the Fix a Leak Week campaign will save more than 5 million gallons of water annually—enough to fill eight Olympic-sized swimming pools! View a map of which parts of the country leapt to the challenge.

 Where Are We Fixing Leaks?

 

Even though Fix a Leak Week has passed, it's never too late
to nip the drips that could be accounting for 12 percent of your
water bill.  Learn how to fix a leak at http://www.epa.gov/watersense/fixaleak/index.htm

 

 

Fulfilling these pledges would save nearly 18,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year from not having to pump and treat the water, eliminating 13 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That’s like planting more than 300 trees.
