  Conservation Overview
SJWC small logo
San Jose Water Company has maintained a long tradition of promoting conservation. After the drought of the early 1990s, we were one of the first utilities to develop, in conjunction with the Santa Clara Valley Water District, a comprehensive water conservation program. As part of the program, we offer free water audits, educational materials, and low-flow devices to help our customers conserve water. Currently, the company conducts nearly 2,000 water audits of residential and commercial customers annually. The water conservation program has been very successful as evidenced by the fact that in 2007, we delivered less water than we did in 1987, despite serving an additional 20,000 connections or roughly 80,000 additional people. SJWC believes that conservation is vital to the preservation of our most precious resource and will continue to do our part to ensure a safe, sustainable, and reliable water supply for our customers. San Jose Water Company is proud to be a signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). The MOU pledges our support to develop and implement 14 comprehensive Best Management Practices in convservation.
