Conservation Resource

Each Golden State Water Company conservation kit includes two low-flow aerators, a low-flow showerhead, one pack of dye tablets to test for water leaks, and easy-to-use instructions. When the kit is used correctly and in its entirety, it can potentially save an average household more than 2,100 gallons of water per month. Kits are available for Golden State Water Company customers only and may take 3-6 weeks for delivery.
