Basic Water Conservation Techniques
Please use these guidelines to assist you in conserving water during the summer months. Visit the Water Conservation site for more tips.
- Water during the cool part of the day.
- Water your lawn once or twice a week, allowing water to soak down to the roots (six to eight inches).
- Do not water on windy days.
- Adjust sprinklers to water only the lawn, and not the sidewalk or street.
- Use a broom, not a hose, for outdoor cleaning.
- Wash your car with a pail of soapy water, using the hose only to rinse the car.
City residents are also reminded that water fees are structured to encourage conservation. Information on water rates can be found on the City web site.
