The District, in partnership with the Federal Way Elementary Schools and the local business community, sponsored annual poster drawing contest to develop a 2014 Water Conservation Calendar. The winning posters are featured art on the calendar and calendars will be available through the participating schools as a fund raising project each fall. Everyone appreciated to the Lakehaven Water District Commissioners and to Lisa Alexanders coordinating the event and great host especially Jean Gardiner.
Lakehaven water district mission statement is to provide high quality drinking water and collection and treatment of wastewater. To meet or exeed all applicable state and federal standards at the lowest long term reasonable cost, consistent with industry standards.
Lakehaven Commissioners and staff are emphasizing that using water wisely will save money which help protect our environment. There are many ways to increase water efficiency in your home, such as detecting and fixing leaky faucets, installing high-efficiency clothes washers and toilets, and watering the lawn and garden with the minimum amount of water needed. The automatic irrigation system is likely the single largest use of water in the home and encourage to improve water efficiency by using proper irrigation and scheduling techniques such as cycling the sprinklers.
Using water wisely will save money but also support environment as pollutants entering rivers, lakes, and streams. In addition, efficient water use can reduce water and wastewater treatment costs and the amount of energy used to treat, pump, and heat water. And it could help to ease the burden on water resources during drought conditions.
Lakehaven Water District Commissioners are: Ron Nowiscki, Don Miller, Tim McClain, Len Englund and Charles Gibson.
