Community Focus: Conserve Water!

We are focusing our efforts on doing our part to conserve water. Please check out these tips below to help us support our community focus!

Ways YOU can conserve water:

In the Bathroom:

• Take shorter showers: Even a few minutes less can save a significant amount of water. 

• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving: Don't let the water run unnecessarily. 

• Repair leaky faucets and toilets: A leaky faucet can waste a surprising amount of water over time. 

• Consider installing a high-efficiency toilet: These toilets use less water per flush. 

• Take showers instead of baths: Showers generally use less water than baths. 

In the Kitchen:

• Don't wash dishes under running water: Instead, fill the sink with water and wash dishes at once. 

• Run the dishwasher and washing machine only with full loads: This ensures that each run is as efficient as possible. 

Outside the Home:

• Collect rainwater: Use rain barrels or other collection methods to store rainwater for use in your garden. 

• Sweep your driveway or patio instead of hosing it down: This avoids unnecessary water usage. 

• Choose drought-tolerant plants for your garden: These plants require less water to thrive. 

• Water your lawn and garden efficiently: Water in the early morning or evening to minimize evaporation. 

• Check for leaks in your irrigation system: Regularly check for leaks and make repairs promptly.
