Water Conservation
Home 
In today's environment of water shortages and conservation, everyone can take a few steps in conserving water. To help conserve water and reduce peak demand times, the best practice year around is to modify sprinkler watering times.
For EVEN addresses: Water Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
For ODD addresses: Water Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
NO Watering on Sunday.
Some quick water conservation steps to follow:
- Sweep away, don’t use water
- Slow flow with water-saving devices
- Take quick showers
- Keep water in refrigerator
- Water lawn, not pavement
- Flush when necessary
- Wash full loads only
- Use mulch
- Save rainwater for use
- Insulate hot water heaters and pipes
- Fix all leaks or drips immediately
Check for Leaks
Leaks are a common problem, but an undetected leak can cost many dollars and waste hundreds of gallons a day. To test for a leak, turn everything off in the house, then go to the meter, and check to see if the red triangle is turning. If it is turning, you have a leak somewhere. Also, turn on your sprinkler and check for broken heads and leaks.
Practice Water Conservation for the Garden
Since over half of your water bill can be attributed to watering lawns, flowers, and gardens, a few simple steps can be taken to reduce consumption by about 25% without destroying your lawn, flowers and garden.
Drought Contingency Plan
In cases of drought, periods of abnormally high usage, other other temporary restrictions, a system may be required to limit non-essential water usage. The purpose of the Drought Contingency Plan is to encourage customer conservation in order to maintain supply, storage, or pressure or to comply with the requirements of a court, government agency or other authority. In the 2011 Drought Contingency Plan Summary, the various stages are listed along with the restrictions per stage.
