The Sabine River Authority of Texas is committed to providing adequate supplies of high quality water to municipal, industrial, agricultural and recreational users of Sabine Basin water.
Water conservation is an integral element of that effort.
There are a variety of benefits to be gained by implementing water conservation practices. Using water conservation to reduce demand in water-poor areas and areas of rapid population growth is one way to increase available water supplies without having to develop additional water resources. This provides economic benefits to the end users of the water as well as the utility responsible for supplying water. Water rates are likely to increase at a lower rate if the large capital expenses of developing reservoirs or other water supply sources can be avoided or delayed. In environmentally sensitive habitats, water conservation can make water available for continuous instream flows.
