Water Conservation

As a member of the Partnership for Water Conservation, Valley Water District is working to promote water conservation. Water is a precious, finite resource. Demands on it are ever increasing. Conserving water year round helps ensure there’s enough water for all the needs in the Puget Sound region – for our communities, businesses and environment.

Water is a shared resource. Please use it wisely.


Look to the future. The actions you take today help ensure an adequate supply of clean drinking water for your children and future generations.

Be a good steward. Conserving water protects the beauty of our natural environment and preserves the integrity of our ecosystems.

Support the economy. Using water wisely at work and at home ensures water for business needs.

Save money. You may lower your water and energy bills by using water with care, and purchasing water-efficient devises and appliances.

It starts with you. For water conservation tips go to: Partners4Water.org
