Save Water, Save Money
With a few quick checks and maybe a few adjustments, you can save water and money.
Hot weather arrived early this year. This may mean you've already started using your sprinklers. Help save water (and money) by doing the following:
1. Water only when needed. If rain is in the forecast, hold off.
2. Water in the morning. This allows the water to soak in all day and keeps the ground cooler.
3. Only water the landscape. Make sure sprinklers are adjusted so they are not watering the pavement, gravel, or buildings.
Relandscaping? Use native plants. Because these plants are from our area, they tend to require little water beyond normal rainfall.
