Conservation Tips

Outdoor Tips

Lawn watering -- Water in the early morning or evening when evaporation rates are lowest. Don't water the pavement! One inch of water per week is all that is generally necessary to maintain your lawn. Avoid over-watering by using a rain gauge or coffee can to measure the volume of water being applied. As a general rule, lawns only need watering every five to seven days in the summer and every ten to fourteen days in the winter. A hearty rain eliminates the need for watering for as long as two weeks.
Lawn care -- allow your grass to grow taller in hot dry weather. Longer grass means less evaporation and will encourage roots to grow deeper leaving your lawn more drought-tolerant.
Car washing -- use a bucket to wash. Keep a nozzle on your hose. Do not let water run when not in use.
Pool -- use a pool cover to keep water clean and reduce evaporation.
General Maintenance -- use a broom instead of a water hose to clear debris from patios, driveways, and sidewalks.
Landscaping -- plant trees to provide shade. Decrease lawn area. Use drought-resistant shrubs. Increase areas of ground cover. Mulch.
Valves and hoses -- check outdoor pipes, hoses, and faucets for leaks.

Indoor Tips

Only wash full loads of dishes or laundry when using a dishwasher or washing machine.
Turn off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving.
If you wash dishes by hand, rinse them in a sink partially filled with clean water instead of under running water.
Install low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators to cut down on the amount of water you use.
Reduce your hot water heater temperature to 120 degrees.
Repair leaking faucets, tanks and pipes.
