Have Heart, Be Water Smart

From the Washington County Water Conservancy District Newsletter:

“Show you care by using water wisely this month.

We live in one of the driest and fastest-growing areas of the state and have a limited water supply. But, thanks to you, our community members, we are making every drop count. Last year, we saved more than 400 million gallons of water despite a 5% increase in population… that’s love! Let’s save even more in 2022!

Following are some easy ways to save:

Outdoors

• Follow the seasonal watering schedule
• Don’t irrigate on rainy or windy days
• Limit grass to functional areas
• Use water-efficient plants
• Replace or repair leaking irrigation equipment

Indoors

• Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving
• Shorten showers
• Take showers instead of baths
• Fix indoor leaks like running toilets
• Use a plugged sink when hand washing dishes
