RWA strives to provide benefits to its members through programs. RWA programs are primarily subscription-based and are developed to meet the needs of member agencies.

Water Efficiency Program (WEP)
In January 2003, the Regional Water Authority's Board of Directors approved an ambitious 18-month plan to expand regional water use efficiency efforts.

Aided by $1.8 million in grant funds, the Water Efficiency Program is moving forward with an aggressive agenda to implement programs designed to help area water providers fulfill Water Forum BMPS. The program includes core activities such as public information, school education, marketing coordination, grant applications and technical assistance.

Additional programs and services are available to member agencies on a subscription basis. These include landscape irrigation surveys, marketing partnerships, training for staff and customers, pilot projects and leak detection surveys.

The momentum is expected to continue in 2004 as more water providers take advantage of the program and its growing array of activities. More...
