WATER SMART TIPS
Lawn Watering:
- Water your lawn only when it needs it;
- Water only during the cool part of the day, this is better for your lawn and reduces evaporation loss;
- Deep soak your lawn rather than applying a light sprinkling;
- Do not over water – a good rule of thumb is 1⁄2 inch of water (measured in a tin can or other container) twice a week.
Other:
- Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks;
- Do not run the hose while washing the car;
- Install inexpensive nozzles on all hoses to allow you to use water only when you need it;
- Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets and couplings to keep them drip free. Thank you for your cooperation
