Water Facts & Tips

If you have a pool or spa, cover it.  Evaporation can cause an average pool to lose 1,000 gallons of water a month.  That's enough drinking water for a family of four for a year and a half!

Water Conservation

Water is earth’s most precious resource.  And with the Morongo Basin's desert climate, unpredictable rainfall, and growing population, we cannot take our water supply for granted.

We must use water wisely to ensure we have an adequate, high-quality water supply, both now and in the future.  Not only do conservation efforts help save this precious resource, they can also help reduce water bills. It’s a win-win situation.

Conserving water is easy to do.  From our end, the District tries to reduce water loss through water distribution system leaks by maintaining and upgrading our infrastructure regularly.

Visit our conservation links to learn easy ways to conserve water, both indoors and out, and get other conservation information.

Take a look at our plant guide (Adobe PDF) for ideas on using native, low-water consuming native plants in your landscape planning. 

Planting native plants will require less water, fertilizer and maintenance than others grown in milder climates.  Please check with your local nursery for their suggestions about what is best suited to your specific area.

Avoid harvesting (or digging up) wild plants.  The disturbance to the ecosystem is irreversible, and most native plants don't transplant well.

May 2008 is  Water Awareness Month and in coordination with the District's
water education program
, the TPWD will be sponsoring its 2nd annual poster contest.
