| During the past year, Monte Vista Water District has been asking our customers to "Watch the Water"... |
...AND YOU RESPONDED! |
How do we know? Since July 2008, water demand has decreased by 12% compared to last year.
Monte Vista Water District congratulates our customers for achieving significant water savings!
BUT… The drought continues. We are entering our third dry year, and court-imposed reductions to protect fish species continue to threaten our imported water supply. In February, the Governor made history by declaring a water supply state of emergency for all of California. Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, supplier of imported water to the District, took action to allocate a certain amount of water to its customers, beginning July 2009. While we will always have enough water to provide to our customers, if we go over our allocated amount, the cost of that water increases greatly—a cost we will have to pass on to you!
SO… Our goal is to keep within our allocated amount, especially during the summer months, when water use typically increases. In order to meet that goal, we are asking our customers to continue to use water as efficiently as possible and to avoid usages that waste water.
