POLL REPOST
In the poll below, we asked, If you were asked to cut your household’s water use, would you know where to start?
[Insert your results here, for example: “X percent of you said you’d have no idea.”]
NOAA’s winter outlook, released in October, favors drought developing or worsening through January across parts of the northern Rockies, northeastern Oregon, and eastern Washington. An outlook is a forecast, not a guarantee.
Warmer winters mean more precipitation falls as rain instead of snow, and snowpack is how the West stores water for the dry months.
Start with leaks, [City/Town]. A dripping faucet or a running toilet wastes water around the clock, so they’re the easiest place to save. For more steps, see [link to local water conservation tips].
What did you find when you checked for leaks?
