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.
The best conservation is done one home at a time, one person at a time.
