City Manager's Special Water Update
|
|
More about water? Yes! I bet you've heard that the City of American Canyon needs to reduce our water consumption by 20% from 2013 levels or face penalties from the State. Earlier this week we sent out notices in the water bills about new rules that everyone must follow in order to meet this goal. Since that time, we have received many calls and emails asking good questions. In this Special Water Update we have included a FAQ document to help you better understand the new policies and the need to conserve water. Throughout the summer, I will be sending out Special Water Updates every now and then to share the progress the City is making to meet our 20% reduction goal, along with other information you might find useful such as new or revised legislation, various ways the City might be able to help you save water, and projects we are undertaking to save water, as well. Thanks for reading!
