  • VitaminWater…isn’t

    Coca-Cola is now being sued by a non-profit public interest group, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, on the grounds that the company’s hugely popular VitaminWater makes unwarranted health claims.

  • Global Water Snapshot

    Since water is a finite resource, basic logic tells us that as the world’s population continues to grow (estimated 9.2 billion by 2050), there will be more demand placed upon an already stressed resource.

  • Save water…pay more?

    End all efforts to keep water rates artificially low. Many consumers do not pay the full cost of the water they use.

  • Sprinkler Math

    Most people have no idea how much water they use to irrigate their lawn and garden until they receive that first, and often shocking, water bill of the summer.

  • Save the Colorado!

Every Drop Counts

Did you know that the average American uses about 100 gallons of water every day? But we can all reduce that amount by 30 gallons by taking a few simple steps, such as installing WaterSense labeled plumbing fixtures and using water efficiently in our yards.

The Pagosa Water and Sanitation District is committed to protecting the future of our national and local water supply through water-efficient practices, products, and services. That is why we are partnering with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to bring to you WaterSense, a national program that offers people a simple way to make product choices that use less water—and perform as well or better than your existing products.

Why Should You Care?

● Waste not want not.
● Protecting and preserving the nation’s fresh water supply is critical to our future and our children’s future.
● WaterSense labeled products and services perform as well as or better than their less efficient counterparts.
● Purchasing WaterSense labeled products can help you protect the environment and save money on utility bills.

Test Your WaterSense

Think you know everything there is to know about water? You can’t be sure until you’ve played EPA’s “Test Your WaterSense” online quiz! Maneuver the waterefficiency hero Hydro through water pipes and answer water-efficiency questions while avoiding water-wasting monsters such as Sogosaurus and Drainiac.
