Water is one of the most important commodities in the area, and the Saint John's Water District is taking steps to preserve and protect our supply. River Water Management Spokesman Teresa Monson says the restrictions in place are aimed at promoting conservation. The new water restrictions are not the only step the District has taken to conserve water.Monson says they will meet on April 16th to discuss more water conservation enhancements. They've already been working on helping homeowners in the area conserve water following the success of a program launched in 2006 to help people building new homes choose water-wise landscaping and appliances. The District is helping those with older homes be more water efficient. Monson says they are also working with the water supply companies to promote water conservation.
