Faced with a water supply crisis, Lake Arrowhead Water District took strong steps to reduce their water consumption, managing to save an incredible 152,195,300 gallons of water, a 24% reduction from 2007. Lake Arrowhead combined a community awareness campaign with innovative water-saving techniques including using recycling water for outdoor irrigation and installing automated meters to collect water use data and detect leaks promptly. Lake Arrowhead also implemented ordinances to manage watering times and maximize watering efficiency. Finally, tiered rates and supplemental rebates provided incentives to lower water use throughout the district.
