Water Conservation: How To Conserve And Save On Outdoor Water Usage

Landscape with native plants or plants from similar climates, cluster thirsty plants, and use soaker hoses, microsprinklers, and timers to reduce water consumption.

Water your yard only before 8 a.m. to reduce evaporation and interference from wind. Save 25 gallons per day

Install a smart sprinkler controller. Save 40 gallons per day


Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks. Save 150 gallons each time.


Check your sprinkler system for leaks, overspray and broken sprinkler heads. Save 500 gallons a month.
