The City’s Water Conservation Program works with residents, business owners, school officials and teachers, and the public at-large to educate them about the need to conserve our “nation’s most precious natural resource – Water.”
We provide materials and programs that teach conservation to any age, and can offer tips on ways to conserve water. With our State mandating a 20% reduction in water use by 2020, there has never been a more critical need for everyone to join in our efforts to conserve water.
The Level 1 Water Shortage Declaration has been rescinded. However, year round water use restrictions remain in place. Pomona’s City Council adopted Ordinance 4122 establishing year round water use efficiency best management practices. Residents are required to practice the following common sense measures to use water as efficiently as possible:
Best Practices:
Basically, we're asking our customers to watch their daily water usage, and find ways to cut back.
If we apply simple, common sense water-saving measures to our daily lives, we'll ensure a plentiful water supply this year and for years to come.
Remember: The water we save today may be the water we need tomorrow!
Reporting Water Wasters:
To report water wasters in the City of Pomona, please call the Water Watcher 24-Hour Reporting Line at (909) 620-2244.

Resources for Teachers
The City of Pomona is a member of the Water Education Water Awareness Committee (WEWAC). WEWAC is a group of local water agencies that have pooled resources in an effort to promote water conservation. Recognizing the benefits of regional programs, the agencies continue to work together with WEWAC. WEWAC places an emphasis on education. WEWAC makes every effort to form partnerships with educators and institutions within its service territory to assist in incorporating the conservation message into the regular curriculum. By instilling the value and importance of water efficiency today, WEWAC is not only investing in the present, but in the future as well.

WHY SAVE WATER?
Water is too precious to waste! Caring for our most precious resource, water conservation must play an important part in our day to day lives.
With a growing population and limited water resources it is essential that we conserve. Conserving water means we can extend the water supply for future generations and help reduce the risk of water shortages. By doing your part, you help the environment and save on your Utility bill.
