City shares watery wisdom
California may no longer be in a drought (for now), but we still have three primary goals to make water conservation a way of life:

Summer also marks an important time of the year for water conservation. By using water wisely in the summer, it helps preserve our healthy watershed for the remainder of the year. Even though we received a lot of rainfall this winter, it is important to minimize water waste throughout our community.
