We’ve all done it, made a New Year’s resolution only to abandon it midway through January.
Why not make a resolution this year that’s easy to accomplish and that benefits not only you but your neighbors and our community as well? For example, why not take a pledge to use water efficiently in the coming year!
Simple changes in your day-to-day life can equal significant savings over the course of a year. You’ll not only save water, but you’ll also do something helpful for our planet. Check out these low and no-cost tips, or visit our website to learn more ways to save.
