Water Rationing: How much can you save?
Monday, March 08, 2010
By Christina Harrison
With simple, small changes, every San Diegan can reduce their water use by the required 8 percent. By being more aggressive, you can save as much as 50 percent.
In this month’s issue of OurCity San Diego, our feature article “Water: How Much Can We Save?” gives a backdrop to the current water-rationing dilemma in San Diego County – we are losing a major water source for our area while drought conditions have caught us unawares.
And according to the American Water Works Association the average American household uses 127,400 gallons a year. Fortunately, a water-conservation movement in your own home can help lighten San Diego’s water-load, as well as help you save financially in current economic conditions.
Check out our indoor and outdoor tips and tricks below to help you save, including links to experts, where to find items, and average costs to install.
