| Goals and Mission |
| Savingwater.org is sponsored by the Saving Water Partnership, a group of local utilities that fund water conservation programs in Seattle and King County. [Learn more...] |
| The Saving Water Partnership is a consortium of 18 water utilities implementing the 1% Water Conservation Initiative. The 1% Water Conservation Initiative is a water conservation goal to reduce personal and business water consumption 1% every year for ten years. |
| If each person and business in the region can become 10% more efficient in using water over the next ten years, it will save approximately 14.5 million gallons of drinking water per day. This amount of water will meet the needs of the estimated level of growth within King County over the next ten years. In essence, the 1% Conservation Initiative can hold water demand constant - with the region using no more drinking water in ten years than it uses today. |
| Leveling out the impact of growth on the region's water supplies will reduce diversions and keep more water in our mountain rivers for salmon and other aquatic resources. Conserving water is an integral part of our commitment to wise management of natural resources. |
