A new tool to help you save water

Folsom is launching a voluntary one-year, no-cost pilot program to provide easy access to your water use data via computer, tablet or mobile phone. Sign-up for Dropcountr to see how much water you use every day, view historical data and compare your consumption to water users of similar family and lot size. 
Folsom Lake level higher, but need for conservation continues
Last month's storms brought more than 10 inches of rain compared to less than half an inch the previous December. As a result, Folsom Lake is approximately 44 feet higher now than it was at this time last year. While that's a welcome sight, less than average mountain snowpack is a clear indication that conservation efforts must continue.
