Smart Ways to Save Water Every Day
Small habits add up to big savings — for your bill and our community’s water supply. Try these everyday tips around the house and yard.
Smart Lawn Watering
Skip the daily soak. Most lawns thrive on watering every 3 to 5 days in summer and 10 to 14 days in winter.
Sweep, Don’t Spray
Reach for a broom instead of the hose to clean sidewalks, driveways, and patios.
Run Full Loads Only
Wait until your dishwasher and washing machine are completely full before starting a cycle.
Cover Your Pool
A pool cover cuts evaporation by up to 90%, saving thousands of gallons each season.
Two-Basin Dishwashing
Hand-washing? Fill two basins — one for washing, one for rinsing — instead of leaving the tap running.
Defrost Smartly
Thaw frozen foods overnight in the fridge or use the microwave instead of running cold water over them.
Shorter Showers
Trim your shower to under 15 minutes. Every minute saved keeps gallons of clean water in the system.
Tap Off When Brushing
Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth and save up to 8 gallons a day.
