The Drought, and
What You Can Do About It
There
are some important things you can do to protect the value in your
landscaping while at the same time reducing your outdoor water use.
We
have all been asked to reduce watering substantially due to the
drought. To help you reduce your outdoor water use, here are a
few
suggestions:
1.
Do It Right:
Don't
waste water by over-watering or
allowing water to run off your lawn.
If
water runs off your lawn, get your lawns aerated.
To
save up to 50% on your outdoor water use,

Take
the time to figure out how much water
your lawns and plants really need. Read the watering
page to find out how to do this.
2. Stop The Cock:
Don't
let the faucet run when washing your
car or watering your lawn or plants.
Set
your irrigation timer to water less minutes, and personally witness
your sprinklers as they operate (run them manually during the day); a
leak can go unnoticed and waste a lot of water.
3.
Take Responsibility (gently):
If
you see water being wasted, tell someone,
but tell the business or homeowner first.
They
may be unaware of the problem.
Telling
the authorities before telling the owner may stop the waste, but at
what cost? How would you like to be fined for doing something you were
unaware of?
