The Water Smart Program has set simple but comprehensive goals.

Increase awareness of the need for water conservation, during a drought and year-round.

Avoid or postpone the need for mandatory water rationing when possible in dry areas of the state.

Enable the public to participate in water conservation efforts both inside and outside the home.

Leverage existing local water conservation efforts.

Assemble local water utilities to carry out the first coordinated regional public information campaign on water conservation and water supply issues.
