Water Watchers

We're watching our water for good.

Introducing a new way to manage water all year round

We’ve replaced outdoor water restrictions with a new plan for using water well and maintaining our stream flow levels all year round. 

Want to know how we’re tracking? Check out the saving water page to see our stream flow levels and how much water we are producing and using.
