Make wiser water choices
Make Wiser Water Choices – that’s the message this summer as the City of Cranbrook kicks off its 2012 Water Conservation Public Education Program.
“I am excited for this year’s initiative and hope to continue to build on the great public response we had around our water program the past two years,” says Chris Zettel, Corporate Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “We have an article series in the works about our wastewater system, building on a very informative article series on the city’s watershed in 2011; a water conservation information rich webpage and some information booths set for the Farmer’s Market this summer.”
Along with last week’s launch of the water conservation education campaign, the 2012 Low Flow Toilet Rebate program is available with applications ready for pick up at City Hall or for download from the City’s website as of May 2.
Three significant key objectives of the 2012 water conservation public education campaign include creating and maintaining public awareness of the importance of use water wisely; raising the profile of Public Works by educating the public on what is done to provide each of us in the city with clean, clear potable drinking water and reduce overall water consumption city-wide.
Over the course of the summer, the city will be providing information about wise water use through the local media, the city’s website and through a couple of information booths at the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market. Rosie, the Fire Hydrant will also return in her role as the Water Conservation Mascot and the very popular Low Flow Toilet Rebate program also returns.
“We had great success with last year’s education program overall and want to continue spreading the message about making wiser water choices,” Zettel says. “We are not here preach to you about how to use your water, we simply want to people to step back and ask themselves – ‘Am I getting the most out of the water I am using?’ and offer some tips and advice to hopefully help you do more with less water.”
