Water Conservation Ideas to help you save water in your yard, lawn or garden:


Listed below are some simple ways you can conserve water and join the City in its commitment to providing you with a safe, abundant, supply of water. 
  1. Water lawns during the early morning when temperatures and wind speed are the lowest.
  2. Use sprinklers that throw big drops of water close to the ground.
  3. Use a water timer on hose-end sprinklers to avoid over-watering.
  4. Use mulch to retain moisture in the soil.  Mulch also helps reduce soil compaction from raindrops and helps control weeds that compete with landscape plants for water.
