Water Conservation Tips

April 22nd, 2025 marks the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, a day celebrated by millions of people across the world.

Every drop counts! Celebrate Earth Day by taking simple steps to save water and protect our planet:

  1. Fix Leaks Promptly – A dripping faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons a year!
  2. Install Smart Irrigation Systems – Use Wi-Fi controllers, rain sensors, and drip irrigation to water efficiently.
  3. Water Early or Late – Water your lawn in the morning or evening to reduce evaporation.
  4. Use Native Plants – Choose drought-tolerant plants that need less water and maintenance.
  5. Collect Rainwater – Use rain barrels to water your garden naturally.
  6. Switch to Water-Efficient Fixtures – Install low-flow showerheads, toilets, and faucets.
  7. Sweep, Don’t Hose – Use a broom to clean driveways and sidewalks instead of a hose.
  8. Run Full Loads – Only run dishwashers and washing machines when fully loaded to conserve water and energy.
  9. Mulch Your Garden – Mulch helps soil retain moisture and reduces the need for frequent watering.
  10. Educate & Share – Talk to friends and family about water-saving habits—they add up!
