Take the Pledge and Commit to Conserving Water Starting Today!

Susan Graham, Water Conservation Coordinator
Water is a vital natural resource that affects the quality of our lives. The Plantation area receives its water from the Biscayne Aquifer, a system that has experienced an impact from years of continued growth in Florida. Recent droughts also have affected our need to conserve water. Together, these issues require us to consider how we will provide water in the near and distant future.
The good news is the first, easiest, and least expensive way to provide for our future water needs is through water conservation, with the goal of avoiding or postponing expensive alternative water supply and technologies. If everyone commits to the pledge to conserve water each day we can make a positive difference for our future.
Indoor water use can be easily reduced. For instance, toilets account for at least 26% of indoor water use each day! Replacing a pre-1994 toilet with a high-efficiency toilet (HET) that uses only 1.28 gallons of water per flush will help you conserve water.
Understanding your indoor and outdoor use of water and then striving to reduce your current water consumption will help provide water for future needs. Also, encourage your relatives, friends and neighbors to join the team to protect our water resources and our environment. Together we can achieve these increasingly important goals.
Our Program
To encourage residents to conserve water, the City of Plantation is offering a rebate to owners who qualify to replace a pre-1994 toilet with a 1.28-gallon high efficiency toilet (HET). Also, learn about other ways you can conserve water by clicking on the water-use calculator and then compare how much water you currently use versus how much water you can save by installing water-efficient fixtures and appliances.
Funding is limited though, so don’t delay!
