OPINION: Water Conservation Needs to be a Way of Life

Our community has done an outstanding job of reducing water use, and we thank you for embodying all of our water savings slogans: Brown became the new green. Rain or shine, you kept saving water. You fought the drought, inside and out.

 We know that you’re tired of the drought. But, it’s not over. In fact, we may face more frequent droughts in the future as our climate changes. Now is not the time to let our guard down. We need to be ready in case the next few years are as dry as the last few.
