Water Conservation Policy
Plano will conserve water resources by expanding education and incentive programs to ensure the city has adequate water supply to meet the long-term needs of the citizens.
Actions
WC1 | Apply adopted water conservation measures even during periods of adequate supply, not just during drought. | |
WC2 | Create incentives for water conservation techniques such as drip irrigation systems, rainwater collection and harvesting, and drought tolerant landscaping, and create demonstration projects on city facilities to increase awareness. | |
WC3 | Utilize traditional and emerging marketing methods such as large-scale media, social marketing campaigns, and presence at public events to improve awareness and participation for the city’s water conservation programs. | |
WC4 | Study potential of air conditioning condensation harvesting and grey water use as a water conservation measure. | |
WC5 | Provide educational materials, seminars, and workshops on conservation and sustainability practices for water resources. | |
WC6 | Evaluate environmental impacts of artificial turf or synthetic grass as an alternative for residential and commercial developments. |
