Cranbrook wants you to save water and has launched its annual conservation program to teach you ways to do it.
Cranbrook has brought back Water Ambassador Tanya Nadeau to help residents understand the importance of outdoor water conservation and how they can get the most out of their water use through the summer.
“I appreciate the ability to connect with the residents and discover more about this amazing community that we live in,” said Nadeau.
“This experience increased my knowledge about our fresh and potable water and why it is such a precious resource. Overall, I was able to understand residents’ perspectives on water, ways to conserve it and spent time exploring water with the youth.”
The City says wise water use and the need for practical conservation measures will make sure the community has enough potable water for current and future use.
Officials say water-related challenges in Cranbrook over the last two summers highlight the need to take steps toward better water conservation.
“By using water responsibly, we can ensure there is enough to meet current demands while preserving this crucial resource for future generations,” said the City.
“Using less water also helps to reduce costs associated with the infrastructure needed to supply and treat our water. The bottom line: effective water conservation means savings for the environment and our wallets.”
The City has also launched a public survey to gauge the community’s awareness of local water conservation efforts and find ways to improve outreach.
The survey is open until Friday, May 23, and you can find it here, or you can pick up paper copies at City Hall.
You can learn more about water conservation, outdoor watering times and the rain barrel or sprinkler timer rebate here.
