Water Conservation

Did you know that nearly 97 percent of the world's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable? Another 2 percent is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1 percent of fresh water to be used for agricultural, commercial, manufacturing, community and personal household needs.

Of that, only about 1 percent of the treated water produced by water utilities is actually consumed. The rest goes on lawns, in washing machines, and down toilets and drains.
