The hottest season is nearly upon us, with Summer kicking off very soon. And with the heat on the way, it's likely water restrictions are on the way as well. So how can you save some water this summer? Kate Hall has a few tips: Reuse greywater wisely. e.g. Collect shower warm-up water in a bucket and use it in the garden. Place a bowl in the sink when rinsing fruit/veggies (use this water for watering plants). Water plants early or late (watering in the cool hours (morning or evening) stops evaporation). Focus on roots, not leaves; plants absorb moisture where it matters. Shorten your showers. Aim for a 4-minute shower; try playing one short song as your timer. A water-efficient showerhead can cut usage by up to 50%. Capture and reuse (keep a bucket near the washing machine or outside to catch rinse water). Wait for full loads: Run washing machines and dishwashers only when full. One less cycle can save 50–100 litres a week. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we're discussing everyone's favorite topic as we head into summer: water conservation.In 2024, the state of California passed new regulations requiring all residents to reduce their water usage. In Redding, that means reducing water usage both indoors and outdoors. During rainy, wet winters, Redding easily meets these new restrictions. However, as we move into the hot, dry summer months, our need for outdoor watering blows our water budget.Today, we speak with Brandon Bishop, Water Conservation Specialist for the City of Redding, about the new regulations and how we can work together to reduce water usage as a community. Brandon admits that the new state rules will be tough to meet in the summer, but is looking to provide everyone with some helpful tools to conserve, regardless of the season.We recognize that water conservation is a complex topic. Still, if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that water is a vital resource, and it's never a good idea to waste it, even when there is plenty available. Fixing leaks and utilizing drip irrigation where possible can significantly reduce overall water usage.Learn more about Redding's Water Conservation >>Read the transcript here>>Contact the City of Redding Podcast Team Email us at podcast@cityofredding.org Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Visit the City of Redding website Love the podcast?

California's water rules are changing—permanently. Starting January 1, 2025, new regulations from the State Water Resources Control Board will require major water suppliers to cut water delivery significantly by 2040. This isn't just about managing water during droughts anymore—this is about building drought resilience into everyday life. Water agencies across the state will now have to develop community-specific water budgets that account for residential, commercial, and landscape use. The measures include limiting outdoor watering, encouraging water-efficient appliances, and pushing Californians to rethink how we use every drop. And here's the kicker: failure to comply could cost agencies up to $10,000 a day in fines. So what does this mean for all of us? Are these changes a burden—or an opportunity to innovate? In episode 22 of What Matters Water TV + Podcast, we have brought together a panel of experts to explore just that: Chelsea Haines, Regulatory Director with the Association of California Water Agencies, offering a statewide perspective on this massive shift. Kelly Kopp, Professor and Extension Specialist at Utah State University, who's focused on water efficiency research. William Ringland, Public Affairs and Conservation Manager at East Valley Water District, where smaller agencies are stepping up to meet big expectations. Fiona Sanchez, Director of Water Resources at Irvine Ranch Water District, who's at the forefront of implementing large-scale water solutions. Together, we'll unpack the opportunities, the challenges, and the practical steps agencies and communities must take to get this right. The stakes are high, and only time will tell if these changes deliver a sustainable water future without creating financial strain on communities.
