Our ever-changing climate requires Village residents to adopt permanent changes to use water more wisely and prepare for more frequent and persistent periods of limited water supply.
Your cooperation can help keep our water usage and costs in check.
The average Californian uses 196 gallons of water per day. We can work collectively to reduce water use and save money by taking some simple steps:
- Check for leaks in kitchen, bathroom and laundry areas. Look for worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets and other leaking valves (particularly toilets). Call Resident Services at 949-597-4600 if you need a plumber.
- Capture cool tap water while waiting for it to heat up to use later for cooking or watering plants.
- Enjuague las frutas y verduras en un fregadero o en una cacerola llena de agua en lugar de dejar correr el agua continuamente para obtener un ahorro estimado de 30 galones por semana.
- Utilice cabezales de ducha de bajo consumo y limite las duchas a 5 minutos o menos para obtener un ahorro estimado de 75 galones por semana.
- Lave sólo cargas completas de ropa y platos; coloque los restos de comida en el bote de basura o enjuáguelos con chorros muy cortos de agua caliente para un ahorro estimado de 60 galones por semana.
- Use a hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle. Don’t water your plantings between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., and refrain from watering the common area landscaping altogether.
- Do not hose or wash down hard or paved surfaces (driveways, patios and sidewalks).
If you are aware of water waste in the Village, please contact the anonymous Compliance Hotline at 949-268-2255 or email at cumplimiento@vmsinc.org and provide specific information.
