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.
