CONSERVATION
& EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The Upper San Gabriel
Valley Municipal Water District has also made strides towards incorporating
water conservation into their overall goals for effective water management
in the San Gabriel Valley.
The District's
commitment to water conservation is upheld through the continuation
of projects that save water and increase the public's awareness of conservation
and other water-related issues. These projects also help the District
meet the goals of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) set forth in
the Memorandum of Understanding(MOU). The MOU was developed by the California
Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) of which the District has been
a signatory member since February 19, 1992.
The District has
administered projects that not only conserve water, but have also provided
other benefits to the surrounding communities such as educational resources
for local schools, informational resources for the public regarding
water issues, and at times, even job training for troubled youth.
The goals of the
District's Water Conservation Program are to expedite implementation
of reasonable water conservation measures, develop comprehensive conservation
programs based on the BMPs using sound economic criteria and to consider
water conservation on an equal basis with other water management options.
