Resolve To Save Water In 2023

Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD) is asking its customers to resolve to conserve water this year and to take WaterSense’s “I’m for Water” pledge and download their resolutions checklist.

WaterSense was created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to make it easy to be water-efficient. The WaterSense label is given to those products that have been independently certified to use at least 20 percent less water and to work as well or better than regular models.

The resolutions checklist includes actions for each month, ranging from learning how to read a water bill to installing water-efficient fixtures and weather-based sprinkler timers. SSWD can help with the cost of many of these improvements through its rebate program, which offers $150 for weather-based sprinkler timers, $500 for sprinkler system improvements, and $150 for WaterSense-labeled toilets. Complete details on the rebate program are available at sswd.org/rebates.
