~ Idaho Falls Encourages Residents to Conserve Water This Summer

As the summer heat sets in, the City of Idaho Falls is urging its residents to join in on their efforts to conserve water. With Eastern Idaho facing drought conditions this year, it is more important than ever for the community to work together and take simple steps to reduce water usage.

Mayor Lisa Burtenshaw emphasized the value of water as a vital resource for the community and encouraged residents to do their part in conserving it. "Water is one of our community's most valuable resources, and conserving it is something we can all contribute to," she stated. "The city is taking steps to reduce water use across our operations, and we encourage residents to join us. Small actions taken throughout our community can make a meaningful difference."

The city has already implemented various conservation measures across its operations, including adjusting irrigation schedules, conducting regular inspections for leaks and broken sprinkler heads, replacing aging irrigation controllers, and keeping fountains at Broadway Plaza and Tautphaus Park turned off for the season. Additionally, they are identifying green spaces that can be converted from turf to more waterwise landscape designs.

These efforts are expected to save approximately 30 million gallons of water this year. Water Superintendent David Richards emphasized that even small actions can have a significant impact when done collectively by the community. "Many of the largest water savings come from simple measures such as repairing leaks, adjusting irrigation schedules, and avoiding overwatering," he explained.

To further promote water conservation, the city will be sharing information, tips, and educational resources through their website and social media platforms throughout the summer. They also encourage residents to share their own water-saving practices and ideas on social media as they work together towards conserving this valuable resource.

With everyone's cooperation and effort, the City of Idaho Falls hopes to maintain its services, landscapes, and quality of life while also preserving water for the future. As Mayor Burtenshaw stated, "By working together, we can make a difference and ensure that Idaho Falls remains a great place to live."
