Lake Havasu City is beginning a new water conservation recognition program in which community members can be nominated and awarded a certificate of recognition for their water conscious efforts! Our first award winner for water conservation is Beachcomber Estates for their removal of an extraordinarily large amount of Oleander off of their property. The removal of the noxious plants resulted in dramatic water savings. With the plants in their property, Beachcomber Estates was using, on average, 200,000 cubic feet of water per month or 1,496,000 gallons. After the removal of the Oleander however, the average water use for the property has dropped to 70,000 cubic feet per month on average or about 523,600 gallons. For such a large property, this reduction in water use is tremendous and highly commendable! Every quarter of the year, a new award will be given to a person or group who has accomplished some sort of water saving activity. Feel free to contact Lake Havasu City’s Water Conservation Specialist, Briana Morgan, with nominees that you think should be awarded in the future.
