Water Conservation Tips:
· Now is a good time to add 2”-3” of mulch to shrub and flower beds. Mulch not only reduces weeds but also reduces water evaporation by up to 70%.
· Sweep your driveway clean versus hosing it down with water.
· Wash only full loads of laundry.
· Install low-flow shower and faucet heads (available for FREE—see below).
· Change habits. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and shaving.
· Check your toilet and sinks for leaks. Leaks could waste thousands of gallons of water per month.
· Don’t use your toilet as a wastebasket. You could be wasting 7 gallons of water every time you flush.
· Deep soak your lawn. This will reduce the frequency you need to water. A light sprinkling will sit on the surface of the turf and easily evaporate.
· Water your landscaping during the cool part of the day to reduce evaporation.
