The city of Concord General Services Department is offering a gift basket of tools to save water, energy and money on utility costs in a contest for water customers who chose to enroll in a program to schedule automatic bill payments online.
Concord General Services’ “E-Z Pay for WaterSense” contest is being hosted for its sixth year in celebration of October being EPA WaterSense’s “Shower Better Month,” Communications Coordinator Angelina Zulkic said.
To enter the contest, customers must submit an entry form and also be enrolled in the City of Concord’s E-Z Pay Program by the contest deadline of 5 p.m. on Oct. 31.
E-Z Pay is an automatic payment program that transfers money from a customer’s authorized bank account to their water service account for scheduled monthly bill payments.
Three contest entries will be selected to each win a “Shower Better Bundle.”
Each Shower Better Bundle includes a water-resistant digital timer to reduce shower time (5 to 10 minutes is ideal), a pail to catch water in the shower while waiting for water to warm (water can be reused later for cleaning or watering plants), a bath towel, a four-pack of washcloths, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shower sponge, rubber duck bath buddies and a Delta WaterSense hand-held showerhead.
The showerhead is designed for optimal pressure while only using 1.75 gallons of water per minute. It has a chrome finish, seven spray settings, and a 72-inch stainless steel hose.
“We offer this contest every year as an easy way to get customers involved in saving water,” said Concord Water Conservation Technician Ian Chase. “We are promoting conservation, but also a better shower experience.”
