Simply because we need your help. The Water-Wise Council of New York consists of citizens, educators, business people, water suppliers and government leaders who have come together to promote water conservation and sound management practices. Water conservation reduces sewage flows and corresponding treatment costs.
Water conservation is everyone's responsibility.
We need to practice conservation 365 days a year, not just during shortages or droughts. By conserving water now, we can preserve our resources for future generations. Our availability of water throughout the northeast will be limited by the increasing demand on our existing supplies. New water supplies are costly to construct and the cost is ultimately borne by the consumer. That's why it's important that you join the Water-Wise Council to help us educate the public about the need to use water wisely.
