Water: There IS a CRISIS
Santa Monica will continue to import 88% of its water until our groundwater treatment plant is completed in late 2010. Our imported water comes from the State Water Project (SWP) in Northern California, where a three-year drought continues. SWP supplies have been further limited due to court orders. Reservoirs are approaching critically low levels. Many existing plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems are inefficient and wasting water.

AVISO: ESCASEZ DE AGUA El Municipio de Santa Mónica solicita a todos los consumidores
Reducir el consumo de agua voluntariamente en un 10%. Gracias!
AGUA: HAY una CRISIS
• Santa Mónica continuará importando 88% de agua has-ta que esté lista la planta de tratamiento de agua sub-terránea a fines del año 2010. • Nuestra agua importada proviene del Proyecto de Agua Estatal (SWP, por sus siglas en inglés) en el Norte de Cali-fornia, donde continúa una sequía de tres años. • Órdenes judiciales han incrementado la limitación del abastecimiento del SWP. • Los reservorios están llegando a límites muy bajos.
• Muchos de los sistemas de plomería y irrigación exis-tentes son ineficientes y derrochan agua.
¡Sigamos ahorrando, en Santa Mónica!
