While the City of Sebastopol is making strides to encourage residents and businesses to limit water use, it’s also putting forward other water-related odds and ends that residents can use or participate in. We’ve gathered those in a list below.
Brightening up that brown lawn with a yard sign
For Sebastopolians devoted to being water-wise — especially those who want to let their neighbors know while encouraging them to save water — the City of Sebastopol has you covered with a yard sign.
Water-conserving Sebastopol residents who want a lawn sign that mentions that they’re saving water can stop by the Public Works Department office at 714 Johnson Street Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Having your water use numbers at your fingertips
The City of Sebastopol is looking into whether or not it wants to start using cellular water meters and a related phone application that, when coupled together, will allow water customers to be able to see their water usage and be alerted to leaks in real time.
In an effort to determine if water users think the meters would be beneficial, the city is conducting a survey. Survey results will be shared with the Sebastopol City Council to help inform the decision-making process.
The water meter survey is available online through the city’s website, and can be found here.
