Water Conservation Tips

Prolonged, dry conditions puts a strain on Texas water supplies for all uses. It just makes sense not to waste water. Here are a few tips to help you make better decisions about water use:

1. In the summer, 50 – 80% of all water consumption is used outside and as much as half of
2. Avoid cutting grass too short, longer blades of grass will reduce evaporation and root stress.
3. Water in the early morning when evaporation loss will be less, and set sprinkler so that the lawn is watered, not sidewalks, driveways and streets.
4. Check for and repair leaking faucets and toilets. A leaking toilet can waste more than 200 gallons of water a day.
5. When it is time to replace water fixtures, ask for water saving fixtures such as low flow toilets, showerheads and water efficient appliances that can reduce your water consumption
