Company representatives to offer water saving
tips, free conservation tools and information on rebates
California American Water representatives will visit 8,000 homes
over three weeks beginning this Saturday, July 18 to offer a range
of water saving tips, free water-wise hose nozzles and information
on turf replacement rebates and related programs.
The water conservation “Walk and Talks” with California American
Water customers are the first of their kind in Southern California
and come as the Company’s customers in Thousand Oaks work to reduce
their water use by 32 percent to meet Governor Jerry Brown’s
conservation targets.
Water conservation team members will be armed with brochures,
refrigerator magnets, hose nozzles that automatically stop spraying
when not in use, and information on turf replacement rebates, as
well as rebates for high-efficiency clothes washers, dishwashers,
low-flow toilets and rain barrels. The dozen or so walkers, who
will wear blue polos, are expected to reach about 400 homes a
day.
“California American Water is taking this unprecedented step
because we’re facing an historic drought, and we need to be as
water efficient as possible,” said Garry Hofer, Southern California
director of operations. “Many of customers have stepped up and made
great progress. Customers in Ventura County have reduced their
water use by 26 percent, but we need to do more to weather this
drought. We believe talking with customers at their homes – about
water use, rebates, and related topics – will help us achieve our
conservation goals.”
Four dry years in a row have decimated our water supply and
reduced reservoir levels statewide. Last year was the hottest in
state history, producing the lowest snowpack ever recorded in the
Sierras. So this summer Thousand Oaks faces the worst drought in
our community’s history. In response, Governor Jerry Brown ordered
strict conservation targets throughout California.
California American Water is committed to ensuring quality water
continues to flow not only today, but far into the future, because
water is essential for public health, fire protection, economic
development, and our quality of life.
“It’s going to take a significant effort, but together we can
meet our water challenges head on and create a better community for
everyone,” said Hofer.
