Water Management Resource Guide
Preview the contents.
To address the rising cost of water and the need to conserve limited resources, the DuPage Water Commission (DWC) created a Water Conservation and Protection Program. The purpose of the WCAPP is to provide all water users in DuPage County with a consistent message about water conservation and provide DWC customers with the tools needed to be good stewards of our finite water supply. More information can be found at PreservingEveryDrop.org.
As part of the implementation of the WCAPP, each community in DWC’s service area has a designated water conservation coordinator. This document is a compilation of the resources from a four-part workshop series that was held over the summer of 2013 to provide conservation coordinators with tools to support their conservation efforts. This workshop series and resource guide were supported through a technical assistance grant through the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and organized by the Metropolitan Planning Council with support from MWH Global.
