Water Conservation Tips

Tip 1

Water early in the morning when there is less evaporation, and avoid watering on windy days.

Tip 2

Aerate your lawn allowing water to reach the roots faster.

Tip 3

Use mulch or peat moss around schrubs and trees to reduce evaporation and keepĀ  weeds out.

Tip 4

If you are planting new landscaping, look into “low water” type plants, trees and ground cover.

Tip 5

For pools, use a pools cover, to reduce evaporation.
