Special Programs and Rebates
Stewardship of our natural resources is not just a practice of ancient times; water management continues today, in many forms, and with many individuals and organizations island-wide making contributions. Conserving water at all levels -- in individual households, businesses, and in government agencies -- is vital if we are going to maintain water as a sustainable resource.
From individual households to multiple-use properties, our message to all consumers:
Use what you need, but do not waste.
