Join us in our Water Less campaign to save water and help sustain our water supply
The St. Johns River Water Management District promotes water conservation year-round, but it’s something that we’re especially enthusiastic to talk about this month. The District is launching a new “Water Less” campaign to help raise awareness for simple ways to integrate outdoor water conservation into our daily lives.
