• Water — Use It Wisely

  Georgia historically has been considered a water-rich state. However, with a state population expected to nearly double in the next 30 years, our water supplies will face increasing demands. Water conservation is essential if we hope to preserve our water resources for future generations.

  Those of us who live in this fast-growing state must use water wisely. Everywhere you look, you'll find another easy way to save water. Turning water off when it's not needed, fixing leaky faucets and toilets right away, and taking shorter showers are just a few ideas. Visit the Water — Use It Wisely website for more than 100 ways to save water at home. Click here for a brochure (PDF, 2.70MB).
