Outdoor Water Conservation Tips

  Adjust sprinklers to water the lawn, not driveways and sidewalks.
  Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
  If you wash your own car, park on the grass to do so. Alternatively, visit a car wash that recycles water.
  Use a timer when watering with a hose.
  Use drip irrigation in your planted beds and gardens.
  Keep irrigation systems running efficiently, repair, replace or adjust sprinkler heads, check the system for leaks.
  Use a broom instead of a hose to clean the driveway and sidewalk.
  Collect and use rainwater for watering your garden.
  Use mulch in the garden and around shrubs to save moisture.
  Plant native plants and trees.
  Direct downspouts toward shrubs or trees.
  When mowing your lawn, allow clippings to remain on the lawn. This slows evaporation and can save two to three applications of fertilizer per growing season.
  Add a rain sensor to your automatic system.
  Apply water slowly so the soil can absorb it without running off.
  Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.
  Aerate your lawn to loosen soil and reduce erosion.
  Bathe your pet outside in an area in need of water.
  Report all significant water losses (broken pipes, open hydrants, errant sprinklers, etc) to the property owner or local authorities.
