Water use efficiency is an important way of life in our drought-sensitive mountain communities due to the direct link between water use and the level of Lake Arrowhead. It can also help you save money. Click on the links on the left to learn more about what you can do to conserve.

We are often asked by our residents how they can do more to save more water. Outdoor irrigation uses more water than people realize. It is estimated that 50% of residential water usage in California is for landscape irrigation. A typical pop-up irrigation system uses 16 gallons of water per minute while a shower will use about 5 gallons of water per minute. Updating your irrigation system can reduce the amount of water you use while maintaining a healthy garden. Click here to learn about the irrigation rebates we offer.
