CUSTOMERS OF THE ALBUQUERQUE-BERNALILLO COUNTY WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY HAVE USED AROUND 24-BILLION GALLONS OF WATER SO FAR THIS YEAR. THAT’S ACCORDING TO CARLOS BUSTOS, THE UTILITY’S CONSERVATION PROGRAM MANAGER, TELLS US IT’S A GOOD TIME TO USE EVEN LESS WATER ON YOUR PROPERTY. HE SAYS THE LANDSCAPE NEEDS 45 PERCENT LESS WATER THAN WHAT YOU GAVE IT DURING THE PEAK OF SUMMERTIME.
BUSTOS SAYS HE EXPECTS WATER USAGE THIS YEAR TO BE SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR WHERE CUSTOMERS USED AROUND 30-BILLION GALLONS.
