Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation

As of today at noon, Eden Prairie is in 9th place in our population category for the challenge! There is still time to make your pledge. Throughout the month of April, residents can make online pledges at mywaterpledge.com on behalf of Eden Prairie. By making a pledge, participants promise to follow a series of 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. Cities with the highest percentage of residents who take the challenge in their population category qualify for a chance to win $3,000 toward their home utility bills and hundreds more eco-friendly prizes.
