The city government has released a memorandum circular in 2019 that encourages proper and efficient use of water in various departments. Quezon City is also assessing its city-owned buildings and schools to determine which ones can be installed with rainwater harvesting systems and water storage tanks.

The recognition of CCESD as a Water Warrior Awardee for Advocacy Leadership is a testament to the city's commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. Through its various initiatives and programs, Quezon City continues to prioritize water conservation and management, ensuring that its residents have access to clean and sufficient water supply.
