EMWD ENCOURAGES EFFICIENCY IN DROUGHT
With California and our region facing ongoing drought conditions, EMWD encourages customers to "Keep It Up" or "Step It Up" with their outdoor water efficiency to help do their part to maximize water supplies.

While EMWD has proactively prepared for the cyclical nature of droughts, it is important that we all work together. EMWD is asking for a voluntary 25-percent reduction in water use, which can be most easily reached through becoming more efficient with outdoor irrigation efforts, such as converting planter beds to drip irrigation.

A vast majority of customers are within their water budget and are encouraged to "Keep It Up." Those who are exceeding their water budgets are encouraged to "Step It Up." EMWD has programs available to help customers be more efficient.
