Whenever possible, we seek opportunities to “close the loop” by reusing materials and supporting a circular economy.
Conserving community water resources by focusing on efficiency
Maximizing water recirculation and reuse
Complying with – and when possible, exceeding – all regulatory requirements
Minimizing the output of physical or chemical contaminants
Monitoring water withdrawals and embracing sustainable withdrawal practices
Investing in targeted initiatives and modernization projects to optimize and reduce our water usage over time
