3rd Annual Flex Your Power Awards
California Urban Water Conservation Council
Recognized for its commitment to energy efficiency through water efficiency and conservation practices. The California Urban Water Conservation Council works to increase efficient water use statewide through partnerships among urban water agencies, public interest organizations and private entities. The Council's goal is to integrate urban water conservation best management practices into the planning and management of California's water resources. More than 200 water agencies that are active in the Council have implemented hundreds of water efficiency programs, saving 750,000 acre feet annually for California. (One acre foot equals 325,000 gallons.) The water agency savings for non-heated water alone equates to 1.5 billion kilowatt-hours annually.
