Fostering a Long-standing Culture of Water Efficiency

Santa Fe Water Division implements a local water conservation ordinance regulating indoor and outdoor use combined with financial incentives designed to foster a long-standing culture of water efficiency in its community. These programs have reduced per capita utility customer demand by 42% since 1995, and total water system demand is down ~30% as compared with 20 years ago, among many other benefits.
