City of San Diego Water Conservation Program directly accounts for approximately 30,000 acre-feet of potable water savings per year, which is approximately 13 percent of the City's total water use. This savings has been achieved by creating a water conservation ethic; adopting new innovative programs, policies and ordinances designed to promote water conservation practices; and implementing comprehensive public information and education campaigns. The water savings have also produced a 2,030,000 kWh electricity savings, and a $191,000 overall cost reduction.
