Conservation
West Valley Water District is committed to educating our community about the importance of water conservation and the value of protecting our shared water resources. Through educational programs, community workshops, and outreach efforts, we provide customers with the knowledge and tools needed to use water efficiently and make informed decisions about their water use.
Customers have access to a variety of conservation programs and resources, including water-saving rebates, free conservation kits, and water-use efficiency tools designed to help reduce water waste and promote sustainable practices. Together, we can build a more water-conscious community and protect our water resources for future generations.

There are many easy ways to use water more responsibly—and lower your monthly water bill in the process.
Indoors
- Check for leaks: Download our Leak Detection Guide
- Longer showers can waste 5 to 10 gallons of water every unneeded minute.
- If you’re washing dishes, brushing your teeth or cleaning vegetables, don’t let the faucet run.
- Install water-saving devices in your kitchen and bathroom.
- Only wash full loads of laundry.
Outdoors
- Check for leaks: Download our Leak Detection Guide
- Replace turf with drought-resistant trees and plants. Look for the Water Saving Garden Friendly logo at Home Depot and other garden centers to find plants that will thrive in the Inland Empire climate and save water. Plant during spring or fall when watering requirements are lower.
- Add mulch whenever possible, 2-4 inches deep. Mulch helps conserve moisture by reducing water evaporation from the soil. It also improves the health of the soil, reduces weed growth, and makes your area look more appealing.
- Water in the early morning or evening
- Consider installing a drip irrigation system to water your plants and trees more efficiently.
- Position your sprinklers so the water lands on the lawn and not on paved areas. Try to avoid watering on windy days.
- Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks.
