From the drought‐parched Southeast to the water‐rich Pacific Northwest, conservation has become part and parcel of a utility's master plan. No longer just a temporary activity that's dusted off and put to use during a drought, conservation is infiltrating the contemporary lifestyle as people become more mindful of their use of natural resources.
