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.
