Using Water Wisely

 Des Moines Water Works in cooperation with the metropolitan area water utilities and through the Central Iowa Regional Drinking Water Commission planning group has developed the "Using Water Wisely" program.  This is an educational, voluntary customer program aimed at reducing water use during hot, dry summer days.  Customers can do this by eliminating lawn watering during the hottest part of the day (10 am through 5 pm) and spreading out water use over several days through ODD - EVEN day watering before and after the 10 am - 5 pm time period.  This watering approach reduces the peak load on our water facilities which extends their capacity and useful life.  Click on the links to find other water saving suggestions.
