6th Annual Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation has begun

by

“My Water Pledge is a friendly competition between cities across the US to see who can be the most “water-wise.” Mayors nationwide will challenge their residents to conserve water, energy and other natural resources on behalf of their city through a series of informative, easy-to-use pledges online.

Cities with the highest percentage of residents who take the challenge in their population category win. Cities will compete in the following population categories: 5,000-29,999, 30,000-99,999, 100,000-299,999, 300,000-599,999, 600,000+). Participants in the winning cities are eligible to win hundreds of prizes. By the way, your mayor doesn’t have to participate for your city to win… But every person makes a difference! Last year, the challenge awarded more than $50,000 in prizes to nearly 1,000 residents in U.S. cities.”

Please pledge daily till April 30, for this national pledge, which started on April 1.  Tucson won 1st place a few years ago in 2013, so your pledging does count:

  1. Tucson placed 2nd in our city category, with Aurora, CO winning again for a city our size:

    Congratulations Winning Cities!
    Laguna Beach, California (Population Category 5,000-29,999)
    Flagstaff, Arizona (Population Category 30,000-99,999)
    Athens, Georgia (Population Category 100,000-299,999)
    Aurora, Colorado (Population Category 300,000-599,999)
    Dallas, Texas (Population Category 600,000 and over)

    At least Flagstaff won in smaller city category!
