Steps to Water Efficiency in the Home and
Yard
Each
average household that fully adopts water
efficient products and practices saves 30,000
gallons per year. That's enough to supply a year
of drinking water for 150 neighbors!
Using water efficiently in the yard can help
reduce water use by 1.5 billion gallons every
day!
Irrigation
systems
- get one that uses rain or moisture sensors,
which will ensure you only use what you need.
Check
your sprinkler head settings
- don't water the sidewalk!
Other
examples:
fix irrigation system leaks, avoid over-watering
and water during the coolest part of the day,
preferably morning.
In
the coming months look for the EPA label on
water efficient products. and more info on how
to use water more efficiently. Find ways
to ensure an adequate water supply in the
future.
