From the Ventura County Star:

“For many, the beginning of a new year brings the commitment, promise and plan to change one’s lifestyle. Many resolutions are made but difficult to carry out.

In the spirit of the new year, California American Water encourages its Ventura County customers to start 2010 out the right way by pledging to cut back daily water use and learn more about water conservation. Making a New Year’s resolution to save water and limit water use is good for the environment and the pocketbook.

Our local water supplies have been cut by 15 percent, which means each of us needs to reduce our water use by 15 percent. If you resolve to save water, we can help you keep your resolution.

Luckily there are hundreds of sites on the Net give us ways to conserve. One other way is “Sprinkler Runoff Conservation System” Check it out.
