The Water Conservation Division provides customers with services and education for efficient water use to help protect this precious natural resource.

Pleasanton is in short water supply due to current historic drought conditions. The Pleasanton community is requested to continue water conserving efforts. Follow these water-saving tips:

• Repair all leaks in and around your home and/or business; these include leaky toilets, faucets, showers, sprinklers, & valves.
• No hose washing of hard-surfaced areas.
• Limit outdoor watering to no more than 1 days per week.
• Eliminate water run-off by shortening watering time and adding multiple watering cycles.
• Only water landscaping between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. to reduce water loss from wind and evaporation
• Wash cars, trucks, etc., at car wash facilities that recycle their water.
• Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, shaving or dishwashing by hand.
• Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes.
• Install water-efficient devices, such as faucet aerators and showerheads.
• Take shorter showers. Reducing your showering time by 5 minutes can save up to 12.5 gallons of water!
