As California continues to experience worsening drought conditions, EMWD is prepared to meet the needs of our customers thanks to investments in a diverse and water supply portfolio.
EMWD has spent decades preparing for the cyclical nature of droughts. Investments that have prepared our area for statewide droughts include an industry-leading recycled water program, expanding our groundwater desalination facilities, groundwater replenishment, and investments in local groundwater supplies through our Groundwater Reliability Plus program.
EMWD is currently asking customers for 25 percent voluntary conservation. The best way to achieve this is to find opportunities to be more efficient with outdoor irrigation, such as using a weather-based irrigation controller or converting planter beds to a drip irrigation system.
