How do I cut back my water use if I'm already efficient with my water use?

Santa Rosa Water appreciates all our customers that have made permanent and significant efforts to reduce water use. If you have already eliminated water waste and are using water as efficiently as possible indoors and outdoors, thank you! We encourage you to continue doing so. If you’re interested in exploring whether there are additional ways you can reduce water use during this drought, please visit our Water Smart Center at srcity.org/WaterSmart for potential ideas (and check out our rebate programs!).  

We also request that all residents practice water-saving behaviors, look for opportunities to replace inefficient water using appliances, and consider transforming turf grass into low water use landscapes. Santa Rosa Water offers free water-saving devices, rebates, tips, and more to help customers reduce water use. Need assistance? Contact a WaterSmart technician today at [email protected] or call 707-543-3985.
