Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation

Mayor's Water Conservation Challenge - Take the Pledge!

Mayor Arlene Schwartz, Mayor of the City of Margate, is joining mayors across the country in asking residents to make a long-term commitment to manage water resources more wisely by taking part in the annual Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation — and in return residents can win $5,000 toward their Home Utility Payments, water saving fixtures, and hundreds of other prizes. Plus, one lucky charity will receive a 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to serve the community.

The annual challenge, April 1- 30, is a non-profit national community service campaign to see which leaders can best inspire their residents to make a series of informative and easy-to-do online pledges at mywaterpledge.com to use water more efficiently, reduce pollution, and save energy.

To participate, residents enter online at mywaterpledge.com, and then make a series of online pledges to conserve water on behalf of the City of Margate.
