• The cost of water is increasing.  Energy costs for pumping water have increased dramatically and continue to do so.  Imported water supplies are restricted by environmental and regulatory issues, and drought cycles are impacting reserves. 

• With more rain in the forecast, Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Director, Ben Wicke, advises residents to turn off their sprinklers for at least seven days.  This action will help to conserve water.  Read more about EVMWD’s “Call for customers to reduce water usage”.
