Drought Information
During times of extreme drought, every drop of water truly matters. By making small changes at home and in our daily routines, we can make a big difference together. Simple actions like fixing leaks, shortening indoor use, choosing drought‑tolerant landscaping, and being mindful of outdoor watering help protect our shared water supply and keep our community resilient.
