Town Water & Sewer Department

 Town of Red Springs Water Conservation Goals & Objectives:

  • Preservation and Protection of Our Natural Resources – Conserving water can help preserve our natural resources. Conserving water means more water is available to serve additional water needs, as well as for wildlife and recreation. Water conservation practices can result in lower wastewater discharges which can mean an improvement in overall water quality. Conserving water diminishes our need to find or build new water sources, leaving them in reserve for future use.
  • Saving Money for Our Citizens and Our Community – Conserving water can reduce the amount of money spent each month for household water use. Our community saves the money spent pumping and treating water before and after use, plus conservation can delay expenditures for additional water sources and treatment facilities.
  • Insuring the Reliability of Our Water Supply – Water conservation can positively affect the reliability of our water supply during periods of high demands (such as the summer months) and during droughts. Implementation of a water conservation education program discourages wasteful water use at all times and discourages non-essential water use during droughts. During droughts, such a program can encourage our community to respond to water shortages early and thus avoid the need for more extreme measures later.
