Easy Water Saving Tips

At the heart of the Water Smart Program is taking personal responsibility for water conservation.  Take a look at these common sense tips and see how easy it is to be part of the Water Smart team.

Inside the Home

  • Wash only full loads of clothes and dishes
  • Never leave water running while brushing your teeth
  • Repair leaky fixtures such as faucets and toilets

Outside the Home

  • Water plants and yard only when necessary.  Comply with designated rationing schedule if one is in effect.
  • Never water or use sprinklers during the heat of the day
  • Introduce native plants to your property and use Xeriscape methods.
  • Postpone washing your vehicle.  If feasible, wash the vehicle on your lawn, not in the driveway where the runoff will be lost to the sewer.
