Wayne Drop | Water Conservation Hero

There is a new hero in town and his name is Wayne Drop.  He is the newest mascot to promote Water Conservation and is associated with one of our favorite websites.  Water Use It Wisely.  Wayne Drop met with the local officials to promote the Whatcom Water Alliance, or WWA for short.  The WWA works to promote water conservation by having fun activities and getting the people of the community educated on water conservation awareness fun for kids of all ages. 


Birch Bay Water and Sewer District in Whatcom County provides water and wastewater services to 7,500 in Whatcom County which is located in northwest area of Washington state.  An increase in water consumption happens every summer. So to try and keep the consumption at a minimum, the WWA promotes a voluntary watering schedule which always starts on June 1st and goes to September 15th.  


The winters in this region are warmer and dryer than usual in this area which heightens the concern about drought and reduced water supplies for 2010.  This makes water conservation more important than ever.  The WWA requests that residents with odd-numbered streets limit outdoor watering to Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays and even numbered street address water on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  Monday's are reserved to let the reservoirs fill back up after the weekend comes.
