City Water - What's The Source?

Where do we get our water?

 

Willamette River

Take Shorter Showers

Shower & Bath tips for using less water

 

Are some showerheads better than others?

Check for water leaks

Check for leaks around your home

  • Leaks are the worst water wasters in your home. Water that leaks does not get used for any beneficial purpose, yet it was treated to be safe to drink.
  • Check every faucet, toilet, showerhead, connector, and hose bib around the house for leaks. Even a slow drip can use 15 to 20 gallons of water a day. Larger leaks and running toilets can use up to 100 gallons of water per day or more.
