Water is one of our most precious resources. Growth and competing demands for fish protection and recreation throughout the Puget Sound region can make water scarce. By using water efficiently, you can help protect the environment for future generations, help ensure that there is enough water for all water users – especially during dry summer months, and save money.

Do your part to conserve water around your home.

An average household could cut indoor water use almost in half by switching from older fixtures to new, efficient ones. Tacoma Water is working with customers to reduce average per-person water consumption by 10 percent between 2000 and 2010. The 10 percent water conservation goal will help ensure that there is enough water available regionally to meet the needs of people, animals and the environment.
