🌿 Why Water Conservation Matters

• Outdoor irrigation accounts for up to 60% of residential water use—most of it can be reduced without sacrificing a healthy landscape.

• Groundwater levels are declining, putting pressure on the city’s long-term water security.

• Every gallon saved today helps avoid water restrictions and costly emergency measures tomorrow.

Water is one of Pleasanton’s most precious and limited resources. As our city continues to grow and face prolonged drought conditions across California, conserving water has become more than a responsibility—it’s a necessity.

Pleasanton relies on a combination of imported water and local groundwater. These sources are vulnerable to seasonal droughts, reduced snowpack, climate change, and increasing demand from homes, businesses, and agriculture. Without thoughtful conservation today, we risk facing water shortages, higher utility costs, and long-term environmental impact.
