Water conservation is important for the environment, our future generations, our pocket book, and us. If you would like to receive emergency warnings and occasional information emails, please click here.

A Finite Source
For Kitsap PUD customers, drinking water comes from groundwater stored in our aquifers. We depend on rainfall to recharge our aquifers.  As our population grows, our water needs grow with it. More paved surfaces and rooftops cause water to run off into the Puget Sound before it can soak into the ground.

Dry Summers
Much of our rainfall occurs during winter months but we use twice as much water in the dry summers than in the winter for irrigation of lawns and gardens.

Water and the Environment
Groundwater feeds streams in Kitsap County . Water conservation will help to keep water in our streams to support our salmon.

 

Water and the Future
Water conservation can be instrumental in delaying the need for new water sources such as new water wells. This helps to plan for the future.

Save money
Water conservation helps the pocketbook, too. Simple water conservation around the home and business can save money.

 
We all make decisions about how much water we use. Most people use an average of 80 gallons of water per day. Taking action to use this precious resource wisely will ensure that we all have enough fresh drinking water for environment, our future generations and ourselves.
