§ 23-66. Year-round policy and practice.

(a)

It shall be OWASA's policy and practice to publicize periodically water conservation methods, including but not limited to, methods of conserving water both indoors and outdoors; methods of collecting and storing harvested water in appropriate devices, such as rain barrels and cisterns; as well as information about the availability, feasibility and allowable uses of reclaimed water from OWASA. It shall be OWASA's policy to strongly encourage and promote the following voluntary conservation measures year-round, regardless of water supply conditions:

(1)

Operate dishwashers and clothes washers only when loaded to their maximum capacity or at water level settings appropriate for the size of the load.

(2)

Where not otherwise required, install ultra-low flow toilets, tank dams, flow restrictors (aerators) and low-flow showerheads.

(3)

Repair and maintain plumbing systems to prevent water leaks.

(4)

Use harvested rainwater and/or reclaimed water for indoor and outdoor purposes where allowable and practical.
