Avoid Water Waste
- Find leaks and fix them. If the District has notified you of consistent or constant consumption, make sure you make repairs within 24 hours.
- When washing your vehicles and other hard surfaces, use a positive shut-off nozzle on your garden hose.
- Avoid pooling of water from super saturation of soils when irrigating or using water for cleaning.
- When using water, avoid letting it flow off of your property and onto the sidewalk and street.
- Fountains and ponds connected to the potable water system must recirculate the water.
- Sweep patios, sidewalks, and driveways instead of washing them down with water.
- Use a cover on your pools and hot tubs to avoid evaporation.
