Help Us Conserve Water this Summer

According to EBMUD, the current drought conditions require that all customers reduce their use of water to ensure availability of the public water supply for critical uses. EBMUD is asking all institutional customers to reduce water use by 9%. Help us achieve this goal by taking shorter showers after workouts, and by turning off the water when shaving or soaping up. We plan to make this easier by installing easy shut off valves on all shower heads. More on that soon. For tips on how to conserve at home, check out the EBMUD Drought Help Center web page.
