HOW TO AVOID FROZEN PIPES
CAMAS HAS INCREASED
WATER EFFICIENCY
In response to the Washington Legislature passing the Water Use Efficiency Act of 1989 and an amendment to the act in 2003, the Department of Health has developed guidelines and reporting requirements for municipal water systems to provide for water conservation. The Camas Water Department is happy to announce that we have met the water loss goal of 9% or less for 2008 with a calculated loss of 8.7%. In 2002 the Camas Water System had an unaccounted for water loss of 27%. Since 2002, the City instituted aggressive leak detection and repair, added a meter replacement and maintenance program, reduced illegal use, and instituted procedures to account for unmetered water.
This is just one of the goals for water conservation. We ask that the citizens of Camas continue to conserve water by using water saving devices, fix leaking fixtures, and use odd/even watering times for irrigation. When we all work together our goals will be achieved, and we will be saving our precious water resource.
