Stop wasting water and start saving money — one drop at a time!
Water seems to be everywhere in South Florida, but forward-thinking communities know that our future is tied to being smart with our water today. Learn what the City is doing to help residents conserve water now, and how new programs will make you water-wise and put money back in your wallet! We discuss this all with Elaine Christian, Sustainability Supervisor.
