HERO PACE Projects Cut Water Waste

 SAN DIEGO—Renovate America says more than a billion gallons of water will be saved in California as a result of completed water-efficiency projects financed through the HERO Program. In addition,more than half of these new water projects and more than half the projected water savings have been completed since the Governor announced water reduction mandates April 1.

The 1.25 billion gallons of water to be saved over the useful life of the water-efficiency projects financed by HERO since January 2012 are the equivalent to 40 million showers or more than 31 million loads of laundry.
