Please do your part by reducing the
amount of salt that leaves your home.
In 2014, The Town of Discovery Bay District Board of Directors voted in Ordinance
24, which bans any installation of “salt-based” water softeners. The Ordinance
reads that no person shall install or in any manner assist in the installation of a
residential or non-residential self-regenerating or “automatic” water softening
appliance that discharges into the District sewer system. The use of non-brine
discharging water softening devices such as membrane or carbon systems are not
prohibited by the District.
I PS I O N
A residential water system is not required. However, if your automatic water
softener is due for replacement, consider swapping it out with an environmentally
friendly alternative such as a:
• Water Filtration Membrane System
• Reverse Osmosis System
• Carbon Filtration System
F ORTMAT
The type of water system you choose for your home or business can impact the
environment as much as the quality of the water that comes from the tap. State
water officials are asking sanitary districts throughout the state to reduce the
amount of salt they release back into the waterways and ground through their
wastewater systems.
If you’re not sure if you have a salt-based water softener and want to make sure
your system is in compliance, please visit the Town website www.todb.ca.gov to
review Ordinance 24.

Water Nutrition Basics
Water helps your body:
TOWWAT
• Keep your temperature normal
• Lubricate and cushion joints
• Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues
• Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements
Your body needs more water when you are:
• In hot climates
• More physically active
• Running a fever
• Having diarrhea or vomiting
If you think you are not getting enough water, these tips may help:
• Carry a water bottle for easy access when you are at work of running errands.
• Freeze some freezer safe water bottles. Take one with you for ice-cold water
all day long.
• Choose water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages.
• Choose water when eating out. Generally, you will save money and
reduce calories.
• Add a wedge of lime or lemon to your water. This can help improve the taste
and help you drink more water than you usually do.
