Water Conservation

Did you know that the average Southern California family uses approximately 500 gallons of water every day? Water is one of our greatest natural resources. It meets our daily needs for drinking, cooking, cleaning, bathing, and recreation.

Water in California is limited. By using water responsibly, Los Angeles County residents can make a huge difference in protecting this resource for future generations.

Watering the yard, filling the swimming pool or hot tub and other outdoor water needs consume about 70 percent of the water used in a typical single-family home. Landscaping with low water use California native or drought tolerant plants can cut outdoor water use in half.

We have three new ways you can save water and money:

One: Set your sprinkler system to water only at night. You’ll save hundreds of gallons of water each month!
Two: Fix indoor faucets and toilet leaks and save thousands of gallons each month.
Three: Plant native and drought-tolerant landscapes and save tens of thousands of gallons each month.
