Summer Months – Water Conservation
During the summer months, the more uses for water, the more it is wasted. Here are some suggested ways to save on water consumption during the summer.
-
Car washing
Rinse your car once, then wash from a bucket rinsing periodically.
-
Lawn and garden
Water slowly and thoroughly when the grass or plants show signs of needing water. Avoid watering on windy days. To avoid both evaporation and damage to your lawn, water in the cooler period of the day. Make sure your sprinklers are watering the lawn or garden, not the sidewalk, driveway, or street.
-
Rake or broom
Instead of using water to sweep away leaves or debris, use a rake or broom.
-
Swimming pool
Do not overfill which may reduce splashing and spilling. Use a pool cover to prevent evaporation. Make sure your filtration system is free of any leaks.
