Tips to Conserve Water
Small adjustments in how we use water can make a BIG impact.
- Water gardens and lawns early in the morning or after the sun has set.
- This saves loss from evaporation.
- About one-third of the water that’s sprayed overhead during the heat of the day is lost to evaporation before it gets to the plants.
- Plant drought resistant plantings.
- Install and use a 3-4″ layer of organic mulch in all of your planting beds to keep plants from drying out and water from evaporating.
- Install an energy efficient dishwasher, toilets, faucets and clothes washing machine.
- Keep showers to 5 minutes.
- Replace or repair all dripping and leaning plumbing fixtures
- Turn the water off when you brush your teeth.
- Collect roof runoff and use to irrigate plants
