Today, we're discussing everyone’s favorite topic as we head into summer: water conservation.
In 2024, the state of California passed new regulations requiring all residents to reduce their water usage. In Redding, that means reducing water usage both indoors and outdoors. During rainy, wet winters, Redding easily meets these new restrictions. However, as we move into the hot, dry summer months, our need for outdoor watering blows our water budget.
Today, we speak with Brandon Bishop, Water Conservation Specialist for the City of Redding, about the new regulations and how we can work together to reduce water usage as a community. Brandon admits that the new state rules will be tough to meet in the summer, but is looking to provide everyone with some helpful tools to conserve, regardless of the season.
We recognize that water conservation is a complex topic. Still, if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it's that water is a vital resource, and it’s never a good idea to waste it, even when there is plenty available. Fixing leaks and utilizing drip irrigation where possible can significantly reduce overall water usage.
