Background and Analysis:
The City of Olympia and the LOTT Clean Water Alliance Partners have been working on wastewater reduction and water conservation projects since 1996. In 2012, the partners reached a significant milestone saving 1,000,000 (one million) gallons of water per day through program efforts.
