Mayor Agran Joins National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation

by ICNV Staff

In the lead-up to Earth Day, Mayor Larry Agran has joined mayors across America in challenging residents to make a long-term commitment to conserve water, reduce pollution, and use natural resources more efficiently.

The National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation takes place during the month of April, inviting residents to support the City’s sustainability goals by making a series of simple, impactful online pledges.

“I am proud to once again join mayors from throughout the country in encouraging residents to take easy yet meaningful steps to protect one of our most precious resources,” said Mayor Agran. “In a City known for thoughtful planning and responsible water use, Irvine can lead by example and show how small, everyday actions add up to real conservation.”

To participate, visit mywaterpledge.com and make a series of online pledges on behalf of the City of Irvine to conserve water in everyday life — at home, in the yard, or out in the community.

Cities with the highest percentage of residents who take the challenge, based on population, will win the title of most water-wise city in the nation. Pledge takers also have a chance to win environmentally-friendly prizes and $3,000 toward their home utility bills.

In addition, the challenge features an impact insight tool to help residents understand how pledge choices can address local issues tied to health, sustainability, and community well-being, making it easier to see exactly how and why changes matter close to home.
