Stage 1 Conservation

Posted by admin on June 3, 2014

The June bills have been mailed and the Stage One water conservation rates will be in effect. What does this mean for you? Not much. Since we use a tiered rate system, the rates in Stage One do not increase until the 18,000 to 24,000 gallon level. Most customers will not see an increase in their bill unless they use a large amount of water, so most customers will not notice the increase. If you use less than 18,000 gallons each billing period, your rates will not increase.

Remember, Stage One is voluntary compliance. We are asking you to conserve water whenever possible. By conserving water voluntarily now, that means there will be more water later and conserving now could possibly mean that moving into Stage 2 could be delayed or possibly avoided altogether. Our goal here at the Pine Cove Water District is to be sure that there is always an adequate amount of water for everyone. If we work together, we can get through these tough water times.

We have water saving kits available here in the office, free to all Pine Cove water customers. Just stop in and ask for yours today. Our office is located at 24917 Marion Ridge Road here in Pine Cove. We are right next to the fire station. Our blog and website also offer many excellent tips and suggestions for saving water indoors as well as outdoors. So we hope you will comply and voluntarily conserve water.

Free Water Saving Kits!

Posted by admin on April 15, 2014

We are inviting Pine Cove Water District Customers to come in and take advantage of our free Water Saving kits. We have mentioned this several times before, but it bears repeating. Any Pine Cove Water District customer can come into the district office during normal business hours and request a water saving kit. Our office is open on Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Just pop in and ask for one of our kits.

What is in these kits you may be asking yourself. Well, the kit includes an Earth Massage 1.5 GPM showerhead with a two setting massage spray showerhead. This alone is worth stopping by for the kit. It doesn’t end there though. There is also a 1.5 GPM Kitchen Swivel Aerator. It has dual-spry functionality with wide-spray radius and a water pausing on/off valve. Then there are not one, but two Bathroom Faucet 1.0 GPM Aerators that deliver half the flow with twice the power! These are commercial grade aerators for your home. Also included in the kit is a Toilet Water Saver (Fill Cycle Diverter). This is a patented water saver that takes excess water from the bowl and diverts it to the tank to reduce water consumption. This is NOT a flow restricting device. Finally, there is a packet of Toilet Leak Detection Tablets that are FDA certified, non-toxic dye tablets used to detect leaks in toilets.

So there you have it. This kit is a great start to reducing water usage in your home. Each item takes only a couple of minutes to install and will have you saving water and money in no time. So stop by the office today and pick yours up!

With this winter’s lack of moisture, comes the reality of having to conserve water. While this should be an ongoing way of life, here on the hill, the weather we are having, or the lack of it, seems to effect how much we think about water conservation.

In an effort to boost your conservation efforts, we are providing a few items to our Pine Cove Water District customers, FREE OF CHARGE! That’s right. Stuff for free.

For your outside areas, we have compost you can add to your soil to improve it. We also have wood chips that you can put on your garden to help retain moisture. The wood chips will eventually decompose and turn into compost as well, there by improving your soil as well.

We also have water saving kits by Niagara Conservation available free of charge to any Pine Cove Water customer. These are great kits and include the following items:

1 Earth Massage 1.5 GPM showerhead with a two setting massage spray showerhead.

1 Kitchen Swivel 1.5 GPM Aerator with dual spray functionality, with wide spray radius and water pausing on/off valve.

2 Bathroom Faucet 1.0 GPM Aerators that deliver half the flow, but twice the power. These are commercial grade aerators for the home.

1 Toilet Water Saver (Fill Cycle Diverter)- This patented water saver takes excess water from the bowl and diverts it to the tank to reduce water consumption. (This is NOT a flow restricting device.)

Toilet Leak Detection Tablets that are FDA certified, non-toxic dye tablets used to detect leaks in toilets.

Water Conservation Wheel that provides useful ways to conserve water around the house.

Flow Meter Bag. The kit bag doubles as a flow meter to identify water wasters throughout the home.

This is a pretty good deal considering it is free of charge. So stop by the office any time during normal business hours and pick up your water saving kit.

We also have our famous blue bird houses back in stock. While they don’t help you save any water, they do provide shelter to our little bird friends here on the hill.

Our office is located at 24917 Marion Ridge Road and we are open Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. So stop by today and get your free stuff!
