SACRAMENTO, Calif.,
Aug. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Building off AT&T's commitment to water conservation, the
company today announced a special offer to help California customers prevent a major source of
home water waste – leaks – while also making a contribution to The
Nature Conservancy to help protect California's water resources.
For a limited time, starting on August
18, 2015, new AT&T customers are eligible to receive a
bill credit of $5/month for 6 months
when they sign up for AT&T Digital Life and add a Water
Detection package1. Existing customers will also be
eligible to receive a bill credit of $5/month for 6 months when they add a Water
Detection package to their existing Digital Life
service2. The AT&T Digital Life Water Detection
service allows customers to receive alerts on their mobile devices
when a sensor detects the presence of water in a designated area in
their home. In addition to the AT&T Digital Life Water
Detection service offer, new customers can instead get a bill
credit of $10/month for 6 months when
they sign up for AT&T Digital Life Water Control service, which
not only detects water leaks but also allows users to shut off the
water source remotely – from their mobile phone or tablet – thereby
stopping a leak and reducing/limiting home water waste.
AT&T will also make a contribution to support California water conservation efforts based on
customer purchases. From August 18 to
September 17, for each new purchase of a Digital Life
product made at participating California retail locations AT&T will
donate $10 to The Nature Conservancy
for projects like "Save the Sierra Nevada: Save our Water," with a
minimum contribution of $50,000 and a
maximum of $100,000. New and
upgrade purchases are eligible for a contribution as well.
"Water is a vital natural resource and using it wisely is
important not only to our business, but to our community, our
environment and California's
economy," said Ken McNeely,
President of AT&T California. "AT&T is doing our part to
help conserve water through our business operations, our products
and services, and by contributing to The Nature Conservancy for
investment in water projects to protect the Northern Sierra
Nevada."
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
household water leaks can waste more than one trillion gallons of
water annually – equal to the yearly household water use of 11
million homes. The average household's leaks can account for more
than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year.
Meanwhile, snow pack on the craggy peaks of the Sierra Nevada
provide 60 percent of California's
water supply. AT&T's donation supports The Nature Conservancy
projects like "Save the Sierra Nevada: Save our Water," which
protects and restores the forests and meadows of the Sierra to help
increase the state's water supply and improve water quality. The
project aims to conserve 50,000 acres of critical land to act as a
natural reservoir and help increase the amount of water flowing
into California's rivers and streams for years to come.
"The Northern Sierra Nevada is not only beautiful, but also a
vital source of water for Californians," said David Eielson, Project Director for the Northern
Sierra, The Nature Conservancy in California. "AT&T's support enables the
Conservancy to protect and restore these forests and meadows so
that everyone – people and nature – can have clean water."
AT&T is committed to helping conserve California's water. In 2013, AT&T set a
goal of reducing the company's global water use by 150 million
gallons annually. AT&T is also helping others to conserve
through its network, products and services, and with contributions
to organizations that invest in water conservation projects. You
