15TH ANNUAL WYLAND NATIONAL MAYOR’S CHALLENGE FOR WATER CONSERVATION

Making An Impact

Residents across the United States took part in the 2023 Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation, April 1-30, by pledging to save billions of gallons of water over the next year. The annual campaign to promote water quality and water resource resiliency ended with mayors from 42 states vying to see whose city could be the nation’s most “water wise.”
The cities with the highest percentage of residents making pledges during the campaign included Laguna Beach, Calif., Northport, Fla., Gainesville, Fla, Tucson, Ariz., and two-time winer Houston, Tex. Overall, residents around the nation made more than 420,000pledges to change behaviors ranging from fixing home leaks to reducing harmful runoff into local rivers and streams
The challenge, presented by the Wyland Foundation, with support from the U.S EPA, National League of Cities, The Toro Company, and Zenni Optical, addresses the growing importance of educating consumers about the many ways they use water.
Clean water, a healthy ocean, and sustainable resources remain one of the keys to a brighter future for everyone in the United States and around the World. “With so much happening around the country, we were thrilled to see people voicing their support for the conservation and protection of our nation’s water systems and other natural resources,” said marine life artist Wyland, who founded the Wyland Foundation in 1993. “They know that environmental stewardship takes year-round effort.”
