During this week of warm weather, try to reduce your water use outdoors. Here are a few ways you can do that:
Car washing:
Use a commercial car wash to clean your car-preferably one that recycles water. If washing your car at home, shut off the nozzle in between rinses and use a finer spray that uses less water, and wash the car in the lawn (if possible) instead of the driveway where soap can flow into storm drains.Lawn watering:
Try to avoid watering your lawn and only water when needed. If lawn irrigation is necessary, do so in the early morning when temps are cooler. Remember, your lawn will come back later in summer even if it looks a bit brown right now. Save watering for trees and large shrubs instead.Learn more about ways you can conserve water.
