More Ways to Conserve Outdoors!

• If the driveway or sidewalk needs cleaning, use a broom instead of a hose.

• Use a cover on a swimming pool to reduce water evaporation by up to 90 percent.

• Periodically check your pool for leaks, especially if you have an automatic refilling device.

• Use a commercial car wash that recycles water. Or use water collected in a rain barrel.

• Use porous materials for walkways and patios to keep water in your yard and prevent wasteful runoff.

• Use pistol-grip nozzles on all hoses and always turn off the faucet tightly to prevent leakage.

• Avoid watering lawns or washing cars when water is in short supply.
