Water Conservation

Take The Polk County Water Conservation Survey
EPA Water Sense Partner Polk County enjoys an abundance of natural resources including our collection of world-renowned lakes, parks and natural areas that support a variety of wildlife habitats. However, as Polk County’s population has continued to grow, so has our need for water supply from the Upper Floridan aquifer. This increasing withdrawal of water from the Upper Floridan aquifer has put a strain on these natural ecosystems and the water quality necessary to sustain them for the enjoyment of future generations. Two pairs of hands holding a cardboard cutout of a blue water droplet over a blue backgroundIn order to meet our long-term water demands and avoid environmental impacts, we will need to find new water sources and exercise more conservative and responsible use of this precious life sustaining resource. By applying some simple water conservation practices, we can significantly contribute to reducing our water use and need for new water sources. Although it may often seem like a single individual, household or business cannot make a difference, it is important to remember that every river starts as a single drop! The Polk Regional Water Cooperative and its member governments are also working diligently to assist with your water conservation efforts.
