WATER CONSERVATION & SUSTAINABILITY

Jordan Lake Partners have demonstrated the ability to permanently reduce demands in our region and recognize that continued conservation is a vital component of a comprehensive water supply plan for the region and the entire Cape Fear River Basin.

In 2009, the Regional Conservation Work Group – including the cities of Raleigh and Durham, the Towns of Cary and Apex, and the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) - adopted regionally consistent year-round water conservation measures, and regionally consistent water shortage response framework.

These year-round water conservation measures include:

  • Outdoor Watering Schedules
  • New irrigation systems equipped with shut-offs to prevent irrigation when it is not necessary
  • "Wasteful water use" prohibited in accordance with local ordinances, standards, or definitions
  • Indoor and outdoor water leaks must be repaired within time limits specified in local ordinances, standards, or definitions
