Laguna Beach has entered the month-long challenge with cities throughout Southern California to promote the importance of using water efficiently. The Wyland Mayor’s Challenge for Water Use Efficiency is a friendly competition between cities locally and across the nation to see who can be the most “water wise.” 

In order to win, Laguna Beach residents must log onto www.mywaterpledge.com during the month of April and complete the online Clean Water Pledge, promising to follow a series of efficiency measures for their home, yard, and automobile. Some examples include washing only full loads of laundry, fixing leaky faucets, watering lawns before 8 a.m., keeping cars tuned, walking or biking short distances, and “singing shorter songs in the shower.”
