With water conservation at urgent levels, the city of Glendale has found a way to beautify municipal landscaping around town, save money, and – most importantly – save water consumption, all at the same time.
The Department of Interior announced the Colorado River reached a Tier 2 shortage, which triggered additional water cuts to the state earlier this month. The Tier 2 designation means some states’ water use will be reduced further effective this month. Arizona faces a 21% reduction in its allotment of Colorado River water, according to the Council of State Governments West.
Should a Tier 3 be declared, it would further restrict municipalities’ water usage.
