Pictured above (left to right) are Tammy Rojek and Cyndee Floyd of the Williamsburg Public Works Department. They are discussing the city's water saving kits to be distributed to Williamsburg citizens.
In order to encourage water conservation, the city of Williamsburg offers water saving kits to its residents. One of Williamsburg City Council's goals, initiatives and outcomes for 2009/2010 is environmental sustainability, and promoting water conservation is one of the key initiatives of that goal.
The kits include: dye tablets to detect leaks; a spray clean shower head; water saving bathroom aerators and a toilet displacement bag. According to the EPA, fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners more than ten percent on their water bills in addition to conserving one of our most precious resources.
There is no charge to residents for the kits, but they should call to reserve one, and they must be picked up in person at the municipal building at 401 Lafayette Street. For more information or to request a kit, please contact Public Works at (757) 220-6140 or publicworks@williamsburgva.gov.
The city also has additional conservation tips in its green section on the city website, www.williamsburgva.gov/green .
