Quick tips to save water:

Irrigation and Landscaping

• Water your lawns early, before sunrise or after sunset. This maximizes water absorption into the soil and minimizes evaporation loss.
• Water your lawn only when needed. Most plants do not need to be watered every day & excess watering not only wastes water, but can harm plants.
• Make sure your sprinklers not aimed on sidewalks, streets or driveways.
• Landscape with plants that do not require much water.
• Use a trigger or automatic shut-off nozzle on your hose.
• Use mulch around trees and plants.
• Shut off your sprinklers after a rain.(installation of a rain shutoff switch)
• Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses to water trees, shrubs, and flower beds.
• Integrate rocks, bricks, gravel and decks into your landscaping.

In the Bathroom

• Take five-minute-or-less showers.
• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth or shaving.
• Check and fix leaks in toilets. (Watch a helpful video on finding leaks.)
• Use 1.5-gallon-per-minute showerheads, and replace older toilets with high-efficiency toilets.

In the Kitchen or Laundry

• Only wash laundry with full loads.
• Use your garbage disposal sparingly.
