Through this dry year and hot summer we have been monitoring the levels of the aquafer from where we draw our water, and so far, we have not put in place any water restrictions. Nonetheless, while there are no water RESTRICTIONS currently in place, we will always encourage water CONSERVATION - using water efficiently to reduce unnecessary waste.
Here are some ways you as a water user can help:
- INDOOR
-- Shorter showers
-- Turn off tap while brushing teeth, handwashing dishes, etc.
-- Install water efficient fixtures
-- Fix leaks (you might be surprised how much water is lost from ongoing leaking)
- OUTDOOR
-- Water lawns in early morning or late evening to eliminate evaporation
-- Adjust sprinklers to minimize spraying onto sidewalks and driveways
-- Use drought-resistant native plants
-- Let your lawn grass grow longer (more drought-resistant, reduces evaporation, and lessens weeds)
-- Place mulch around plants (helps retain moisture)
There are lots of other ways that a quick online search will provide, but those are some ideas to help conserve our precious resource.
