The City of Kingman is promoting Arizona Water Awareness Month (WAM). Water Awareness Month is not only dedicated to promoting Arizona’s success in managing its water resources, it also is intended to encourage Arizonans to be conscious of every precious drop.
Kingman City Mayor Jen Miles said, “As a city we’ve taken important measures to conserve water such as the installation of drywells, replacing government building fixtures with more water-efficient types, and more; however more can always be done. Beyond our own water conservation and sustainability initiatives, we remain strong advocates for legislation to be passed that protects Arizona’s groundwater and rural water usage across the state.”
The Arizona Department of Water Resources and our water conservation partners from around the state invite you, your family and your neighbors to join in the celebration of WAM. The WAM website, first launched in 2011, is “overflowing” with ideas and activities to help you learn more about water conservation and become more aware of our state’s most precious resource, water. Water is a serious subject in Arizona. The availability and quality of our water supply is critical to our quality of life and our state’s status as a world-class destination. This essential and precious resource was recognized by Arizona’s Governor in 2008 with an Executive Order that designates April as Water Awareness Month. Practicing a low water-use lifestyle is a way each individual and business in Arizona can help ensure a long-term, sufficient water supply. You can make a difference in our future by making small changes.
