May Is National Water Awareness Month
You use water every day, from the time you wake up in the morning
to the time you go to sleep at night. So why is it necessary to recognize
May as National Water Awareness Month? Because most people don’t think
about their water unless they’re being plagued by flood or drought. Take
a moment this month to consider how important water is to all of us. We
need it to drink, bathe, grow our food, and keep our businesses going.
Indeed, water is our livelihood, and we need to do all we can to conserve
and protect it -- not just in May, but in every month of the year.
Save Water, Save Money
More water is used in the bathroom than in any other place in
the home. Install ultra low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and faucet
aerators, and you’ll save thousands of gallons of water a year.
Did you know?
There is the same amount of water on earth today as there was
when the earth was formed. In fact, the water from your faucet could contain
molecules that dinosaurs drank. But of all the water on earth, 97% is salty
or otherwise undrinkable; 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers; and only
1% is available for our agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community,
and personal needs.
Dominguez Water Adopts New Conservation Slogan
Dominguez Water has updated its conservation slogan to reflect
the company’s continuing commitment to conservation education. The new
slogan reads: "Conservation. No Drought About It."
