Water Conservation

The City of Stockton’s Municipal Utilities Department (MUD) is committed to conserving water, an important resource with limited supply. The amount of water we have available today is the same supply available when dinosaurs existed.

The Water Conservation Program works year-round to increase water conservation and raise awareness about programs and services available to customers within the City’s water service area.

Water Use Survey

Save up to 25% of the water used inside and outside your home or business by downloading the Water Use Home Survey Kit and conducting a do-it-yourself water use survey. Submit your survey results to the City and receive a free water saving kit.
