Ashland, Oregon: Small Town, Big Savings
In a town of roughly 20,000 people, local members of the community in Ashland, Oregon are learning how to properly conserve their water. The simple approach to conserving water was to adopt four basic concepts: system leak detection and repair, conservation-based water rates, toilet retrofits and replacement, and a high-efficiency showerhead replacement program. By doing this, the town saved an estimated 395,000 gallons of water per year and avoided an estimated 10 million dollars!
