Today, as business owners, you are faced not only with the rising scarcity of water, but the rising costs of electricity. Reducing your water use, even if only by quickly identifying and repairing leaks, can lead to direct financial benefits by lowering your power bills, as well as your water bills.

Please join us in encouraging wise water use and increasing the local citizens awareness of the importance of water to life on the Monterey Bay. To assist you, we have developed water awareness table tents, menu decals, and decals for placement on your restroom mirrors all provided free-of-charge. (see sidebar for a description of each) We thank you for helping us reach your customers and employees with this important message.

free materials to help your business conserve water

• Restroom mirror decals: Leaking fixtures can waste thousands of gallons of water a year. Our restroom mirror decals ask guests of your business, hotel or rental property to contact the management if they notice water leaking and reminds them to use water wisely.
• Table tents and menu decals: Estimates show that to serve a single 8-ounce glass of water in a commercial setting can consume 40-64 ounces of water when you consider washing and rinsing activities. Our table tents and menu decals explain to guests the restaurants’ interest in helping conserve water and asks customers to choose for themselves as to whether they would like water.
• Linen choice cards: Water conservation signs that go on the vanity and the bedside table let the hotel guest choose to use the towels and linens again are provided free of charge to hotels in Soquel Creek Water District. Call 475-8500 ext. 142 to order a set for your hotel or motel.
