More than 50% of a homeowner’s water bill may consist of lawn and landscape watering. This watering usually accounts for the most water waste! Here are useful tips to produce substantial savings in your water bill:
Design landscape with water-efficient plants.
Determine how much water your landscape needs to stay healthy.
Follow landscape management regulations listed in the Water Conservation and Water Resource Management Plan.
Harvest rainwater: see the rebate page for information about a Rain Barrel Rebate!
Keep automatic irrigation controllers in the "off" position and turn on water only when necessary!
Keep irrigation system equipment maintained! Broken or misaligned sprinkler heads waste tremendous amounts of water and they are subject to violation.
Never use a hose to sweep sidewalks and driveways!
Use a hose shut-off nozzle to keep from wasting water.
Use water-wise landscape management practices.
