Water Conservation Schedule & Tips Why conserve? ✔ When you save water, you save money on your utility bills. ✔ Less run-off from waste keeps our environment healthy. ✔ Reduces water treatment costs and the amount of energy used to treat and pump water.
Water Conservation today ensures water availability tomorrow! Year-Round Water Conservation Plan Watering Schedule Irrigation of Landscape – with hose end sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems shall be limited to: •Sundays and Thursdays for customers with a mailing address ending in an even number (0,2,4,6, or 8). •Saturdays and Wednesdays for water customers with a mailing address ending in an odd number (1,3,5,7, or 9). •Irrigation of landscape is prohibited between the hours of 10am and 8pm on all 7 days of the week. However, irrigation of landscaped areas is permitted at any time if it is by hand-held hose.
Conservation Tips in the Kitchen
•When washing dishes by hand, don’t let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water. •Never run the dishwasher without a full load. This practice will save water, energy, detergent, and money. •Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable food waste instead. •For cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every drop goes down you and not the drain. •Designate one glass for your drinking water each day or refill a water bottle. This will cut down on the number of glasses to wash.
Conservation Tips in the Bathroom
•Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you’ll save up to 150 gallons per month. •Turn off the water while brushing your teeth and save 25 gallons a month. •Take a shower instead of taking a bath. Showers with low-flow shower heads use less water than taking a bath. •Turn off the water while you wash your hair to save up to 150 gallons a month. •When remodeling a bathroom, install a new low-volume flush toilet that uses only 1.6 gallons per flush.
Conservation Tips in the Laundry
•Use your clothes washer only when it is full. This will save up to 1,000 gallons a month. •Wash dark clothes in cold water. •When doing laundry, match the water level to load size.
Conservation Tips for the Outdoors
•Water only when needed. •Do not over-water. Soil can hold only so much moisture, and the rest simply runs off. A timer will help. Apply only enough water to fill the plant’s root zone. •Water lawns early in the morning during the hotter summer months. Otherwise, much of the water used on the lawn can simply evaporate between the sprinkler and the grass. •Set automatic sprinkler systems to provide thorough, but infrequent, watering. Pressure-regulating devices should be set to design specifications. Rain shut-off devices can prevent watering in the rain. •Use drip irrigation systems for bedded plants, trees, or shrubs, or turn soaker hoses upsidedown so the holes are on the bottom. This will help avoid evaporation.
