Water Conservation

To provide safe, adequate, and affordable drinking water, the City of Sioux Falls remains firmly committed to careful management of available water resources. It promotes water conservation by means of:

  • Water rates that provide a financial incentive for conserving water,
  • Plumbing codes that require the use of fixtures that conserve water,
  • Public education programs to encourage the wise use of water,
  • Funding plumbing and rain sensor rebate programs to encourage replacement of older, inefficient home devices,
  • Funding water conservation tools that contribute to the overall management of home water resources.   

If we each save a little, we all save a lot!
