In Our Homes
On average, residential use - that includes single and multi-family homes - accounts for 56 percent of total water use statewide, based on the most recent data received from the 527 systems that filed water plans with the Division of Water Resources. So, what you do at home really DOES make a difference. The fact is: water is a limited resource. And we all need water for life.
Making the decision to conserve water in everything you do – from shortening showers, to installing rain barrels – will make our limited water go further. Be sure to visit the Irrigation section of this Web site for information on how to save water used outside your home.
The best conservation is done one home at a time, one person at a time.
