Press release from the City of Eden Prairie: April 1, 2022 Mayor Ron Case is challenging Eden Prairie residents to conserve water, energy and natural resources by participating in the Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation. The annual challenge is a friendly competition between cities across the nation to see who can be the most "water-wise." Throughout the month of April, residents can pledge to take a series of simple water-saving actions at MyWaterPledge.com on behalf of Eden Prairie. Participants promise to follow a series of small conservation measures for their homes, yards and cars, such as washing only full loads of laundry, fixing leaky faucets and walking or biking short distances. "Eden Prairie has participated in the annual National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation since its inception in 2012. By participating in the challenge, we demonstrate that our community is actively engaged in saving water, and recognize that water conservation and other sustainable practices are necessary to maintain the high quality of life we all enjoy in Eden Prairie," said Mayor Case. Participants have a chance to win $3,000 toward their home utility bills, home irrigation makeovers from Toro, Hobie gift cards and hundreds more eco-friendly prizes. Residents can also nominate a deserving charity in their community to receive a 2022 new-generation Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE. New in 2022! The Wyland Foundation has introduced a new digital tool, MyVolunteer Water Project, to give residents a unique way to do hands-on home, community and workplace projects year-round in support of their communities' sustainability efforts. The more projects residents do throughout the year, the better chance a city wins the mayor's challenge in April. This press release was produced by the City of Eden Prairie.
