Indoor Water Facts
Showers and toilets are the 2 largest water users.
Aerators and flow restrictors can cut water usage by 50%.
Vast amounts of water are wasted due to leaky faucets.
Every load of laundry uses approximately 27-54 gallons of water - Make sure washing machines and dishwashers have full loads!
Outdoor Watering Tips
Watering between 3am-9am is ideal as winds and temperatures are lower, therefore, minimizing evaporation.
Avoid water runoff - Use smaller, shorter cycles more frequently. Over-watering is a large waste.
Tall Fescue grass should be kept at a height of 3-4" and Bermuda Grass should be approximately 1".
Every so often check sprinkler heads and timers. Batteries placed in timers will keep them working during a power outage.
Remember, proper design and irrigation scheduling saves water.
