Imagine you have a friend that does everything for you: cooks, cleans, and even keeps you alive. What’s more, this friend travels hundreds of miles every time you need it.

Water is that friend.

We are now in the fourth consecutive year of drought in California. If we want our friend to be there for us in the future, we need to get creative about how we save water.

Start with some simple steps, like taking shorter showers and fixing leaky faucets. You can make a big difference by switching out water-thirsty lawns for beautiful, California-friendly landscaping. The city will even pay you $3.75 per square foot of lawn you replace.

Let’s do this. Let’s pledge to use our friend wisely and spread the word on ways to save water.

Water might not be able to speak for itself, but everyone and everything that depends on our friend will appreciate every drop that we save. Thank you for all you do.
