Keep Conserving Water!

Recent rains may have folks in metro Atlanta feeling a little complacent about water conservation efforts.  But please remember - The Chattahoochee River serves 3.5 million Georgian's and metro Atlanta is one of the fastest growing regions in the country. Yet the watershed above Lake Lanier is one of  the smallest serving a major U.S. metropolitan area. Water conservation is vital to protecting our quality of life and future prosperity. Find tips for conserving at home and in the garden here.
