Overview

Water conservation in Cary is more than a "feel good" endeavor. The Town's comprehensive program provides solutions for maximizing use of a crucial natural resource.

Demand for water during the hottest, driest days can be more than twice the daily average. Reducing this spike in usage lengthens the time before costly treatment plant expansion is required.

Voluntary Measures, Incentives & Regulations

The water conservation program was established in 1996 to efficiently manage Cary's water resources and to decrease reliance on outside sources.

The Water Conservation Plan calls for reducing the Town’s average per capita use by 20 percent by 2015. The plan incorporates public education, landscaping and irrigation ordinances, rates structured to encourage conservation, and accountability for water use in Town government operations.
