Water and Sewer Service
Given the current drought conditions in surrounding areas, we are asking residents to use voluntary water conservation efforts. Your efforts to help conserve water during this time are appreciated.
Examples of things you can do to help conserve water:
• Mow lawns to three inches or more and leave clippings (higher cut encourages grass roots to grow deeper to hold soil moisture better than closely clipped lawn)
• If you must water your lawn, do it during cool parts of the day
• Use mulch around plants to reduce evaporation
• Limit showers to 5 to 10 minutes/day/person
• Turn off water while brushing your teeth or shaving
• Place rain barrels under gutter downspouts to collect water for plants, car washing, or general cleaning projects
• Do not use the garbage disposal
• Use automatic dishwasher only when load is full
• If you wash dishes by hand, don’t leave the water running for rinsing
• Use automatic washing machine only for full loads (washers can use 30 to 35 gallons per cycle)
• Avoid running water to get a cold temperature; instead keep a pitcher of cold water in fridge
• Don’t let the faucet run while cleaning vegetables
• Check pipes and faucets for leaks
