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.
