FLAGSTAFF — Flagstaff’s Mayor Coral Evans is joining mayors across the country in challenging their residents to conserve water, energy and other natural resources on behalf of their city through a series of informative, easy-to-use pledges online by taking part in the annual Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation. Residents are encouraged to pledge online at mywaterpledge.com
Living in a high desert it is crucial for Flagstaff residents to practice mindful water-use throughout their daily activities and beyond. This year’s challenge includes a component of hands-on action through the Volunteer Water Project portal at https://wylandfoundation.ecochallenge.org/users/join. Residents can log their actions to save water and other natural resources in the portal and earn points for Flagstaff in the challenge. The city of Flagstaff’s Water Conservation Program is providing digital resources to support these actions through social media and other digital means during the Covid-19 pandemic. Any residents interested in a free high-efficiency showerhead or faucet aerator may request one by emailing SaveWater@flagstaffaz.gov
