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.
