Tips On Saving Water Outside The House

Use a broom, not a hose to clean driveways, steps, and sidewalks. If a hose must be used, control the flow a shut-off nozzle.

In the summer, water your garden during the coolest part of the day.

Direct downspouts or gutters toward shrubbery or trees. Collect rainwater in a large bucket for other outside uses.

Adjust sprinklers to insure you are not watering the house, sidewalk, or street.

Adjust the automatic sprinklers with the seasons.

Shut the sprinklers off when it is raining.
