Save Our Water

California is facing a severe drought and is asking you to help conserve our land's most precious resource: water! Here are a few suggestions you can try today to reduce your water usage by 10-20%:


• Reduce sprinkler run times – try running each station for only 5-7 minutes at a time
• Check for leaks in your home and landscaping
• Remove grass in your yard, or just your parkway, and replace with drought tolerant/CA native plants     
• Use a broom to clean driveways, sidewalk and patios, not a hose to wash down
• Shorten showers and run full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine
• Turn water off when brushing teeth or shaving
• Replace older appliances with new high-efficiency appliances (plus, you can get a rebate!)
