Last week we began releasing pre-packaged press releases and beginning May 5, we'll be starting our first blogger outreach. Last year our efforts resulted in 165 million impressions, driving people to the WaterSavers car wash locator.



And because members asked for it, late this summer (July/August) we will be running targeted digital advertising ONLY for WaterSavers members. We will run ads in the zip code areas where we have WaterSavers members.




Not in the program? Join today to be included in our WaterSavers car wash locator.

The rain that's fallen in fulsome fits and spattering starts this spring has punched enough of a dent in the drought that state officials now say just three towns and rural areas are in danger of running out of water—a sharp dip from the 17 that were facing Dust Bowl disaster in January.
