Our response is, in a word, conservation reduce our consumption of energy. Our hope is that by conserving, we can lower our residential and business costs, preserve the resources and help our state stabilize itself. Several months ago, we began studying ways to reduce our energy costs in the production of water. Pumping water from the ground, turning seawater into drinking water and moving this water to our homes and businesses requires a great deal of energy. As we find ways to reduce our energy costs, we preserve essential energy resources that enable this District to efficiently deliver our water and wastewater collection services to each of you.
Conservation is an important part of the District's mission.
We practice and encourage the conservation of our water resources through programs aimed at helping our customers understand that our limited water resources must be protected. The present energy crisis is a timely reminder of the need to redouble our efforts to conserve the essential resources that we all depend on. In January, MCWD began mailing its redesigned water bills to customers. The new bills also include figures for water consumption in gallons per day, as well as meter size and serial number information. In the meantime, we would love to hear any comments customers have about the new bills.
