Washington Water Service Company
takes water conservation seriously.

Water
is used everyday to meet the growing
demands of business and industry, the environment and individual people.
Clean and reliable water supplies cost money to maintain and manage. There
is more to clean water than just turning on the tap!
|
|
Water
conservation can save money on water and
utility bills and reduce the costs for sewer and septic services. Saving
water today will insure that an adequate and clean water supply exists
tomorrow.
|
|
Water
makes up approximately 67% of the mass in
our bodies. Water keeps our blood, bones and brains healthy and also helps
with digestion of food. Equally important, water also eliminates waste from
our bodies. Clean water is essential to keeping every person healthy and
alive.
|
|
Water
conservation is important to the entire
planet. People, plants, animals, trees and fish depend on water for their
survival. Salmon are a good example of a species that is severely threatened
by inadequate supplies of cold, clean water. Efficient use of water is
critical to a healthy, safe and clean environment. |
Each
one of us makes personal
decisions routinely regarding how much water we use. On average, most people use
approximately 80 gallons of water per day. Taking action to use our resources
wisely will ensure that we all have enough fresh drinking water for the
environment, future generations and ourselves.

not realize their appliances are a big energy drain, and a drain on
their wallet. Cash for Appliances Washington (www.cashforapplianceswa.com),

back to help them make the switch to a new energy-efficient refrigerator
or clothes washer. |
