YOUR LAWN - WATER SAVING TIPS

Watering:

• Water lawns only when needed.  Putting 1.0 inches of water on your lawn every 5-7 days will encourage deep root systems and make for healthier grass.

• Soak garden once weekly rather than lightly sprinkling several times a week.

• Water when the sun is down - early in the morning or late at night - to prevent rapid evaporation during the heat of the day.

• Using a nozzle which can be shut off or adjusted to a fine spray can save up to 5 gpm.  To avoid leaks, shut off water at the house when finished.

• Let grass grow taller in hot weather.  Use mulch in the garden and around shrubs to save moisture.

• Plant native plants and shrubs that don't need a lot of water.  Consider alternatives to big, thirst lawns.

• Consider a drip irrigation system.  This type of system slowly waters at the roots to help reduce evaporation.

• Keep irrigation systems running efficiently.  Install shut-off devices like rain or soil moisture sensors.  Repair, replace or adjust sprinkler heads and check often for leaks.

Cleaning Up:

• Use a broom or rake rather than a hose to remove leaves and debris from driveway, walk, patio, and pool decks.

Swimming Pools:

• Cover swimming pool to slow down the evaporation of water from it.

• Don't Overfill.  This helps reduce splashing and spilling.

• Check the pool and filtration system for leaks.  Have leaks repaired.
