Water Efficient Landscape Demonstration Projects
CCUA maintains a small demonstration landscape at its drive-thru location to highlight practical, water-efficient landscaping practices.
The Authority has designed its own display of a water conservation friendly landscape in its drive-thru area of its main operations building. The drive-thru window is in a location that can be viewed by approximately 150 customers per day who utilize the window for paying their utility bill. The landscape demonstration project incorporates many of the plants and recommendations included in the SJRWMD Waterwise publication.
Water Conservation Speakers to Schools
The Authority currently provides speakers to local schools, community organizations, associations, and children’s clubs (i.e. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc.).
Speakers focus on the importance of water conservation and provide basic tips and solutions for conserving water by altering daily activities and behavior. The information provided is further supported with a variety of SJRWMD conservation literature and coloring/activity books for the children and CCUA attention grabbing toys.
We believe providing education to the public will improve awareness and provide individuals with the means to be able to take an active role in conserving water.

Provide Customer Assistance with Water Usage Audits
CCUA is committed to helping customers better understand their water use and identify opportunities to conserve water and reduce unnecessary costs.
Customers establishing service are provided with a Home Water Use Survey supplied by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). This survey helps homeowners evaluate how much water they are using and provides practical tips for improving efficiency and reducing waste.
In addition, customers may request one free high bill investigation per year. Authority technicians will review usage and inspect for potential leaks or issues that could be contributing to unusually high bills. This service is designed to help customers quickly identify problems and take corrective action.
Leak detection tablets are also available at our main office at no cost to customers. These tablets provide a simple way to check for hidden toilet leaks that can significantly increase water usage.
Through these services, CCUA provides ongoing support to help customers manage their water consumption responsibly and identify conservation opportunities.
