Harwich Water Deparment - Water Conservation & Protection
Community Aquifer Protection Program
(CAPP)
 Be aware of and follow all water conservation and water shortage
rules in effect in your community. Don't assume --- even
if you get your water from a private
well---that you need not observe good water use rules. Every drop counts.
- Encourage your employer to promote water conservation in the
work place. Suggest that water conservation be put in employee
orientation and training
programs.
- Report all significant water losses (broken pipes, open hydrants,
errant sprinklers, abandoned free-flowing wells, etc.) to the
property owner,
local authorities
or your water local water department.
- Encourage your school system and local government to help
develop and promote a water conservation ethic among children
and adults.
- Support efforts and programs that create a concern for water
conservation among tourists and visitors to our communities
as well as our state Make
sure your
visitors understand the need for, and the benefits of, water conservation.
- Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water-conscious
community. Promote water conservation in community newsletters,
on bulletin boards
and by example. Encourage your friends, neighbors and co-workers
to "do their part".
- Conserve water because it's the right thing to do. Don't waste
water just because someone else is footing the bill such as
when you are
staying at
a hotel or
motel.
- Try to do one thing each day that will result in saving water.
Don't worry if the savings are minimal. Every drop counts.
You can make
a difference.
Together we can put a CAPP on water waste!
