Town of Windsor’s Water Conservation Program
The
Town of Windsor is dedicated to an informative and
aggressive
water conservation
program and continues to be a leader in promoting water
conservation through its Every Drop Counts and recycled
water programs.
Through conservation efforts, the Town’s water customers have successfully reduced their demand on the water supply. This reduction was factored into the 2009 Water Master Plan Update. The earlier plan (2000) relied on historical water demand data for its estimates of 130 gallons per day per person. The WMP update accounts for water conservation efforts that have reduced per capita water demand to 110 gallons per day per person.

The Town of Windsor is also a leader among communities nationwide in the use of recycled water for the irrigation of agricultural lands, recreational facilities, schools and residential front and back yards, which saves millions of gallons a year of precious fresh water for drinking and other human uses.
Besides using recycled water for irrigation purposes, the
Town of Windsor is building a pipeline and pump station that
will send an average of 0.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of
its recycled water, to the
Geysers steamfields
where it
will be used to generate “green” electricity.
