- If you are a residential customer with an outside remote head
attached to your meter, read both numbers twice each year to compare
readings. If they do not agree, notify customer service.
- Recycle water from fish tanks. Use it to water plants. Fish
emulsion is a good, inexpensive fertilizer high in nitrogen and
phosphorous.
- Check your faucets for leaks today. Replace worn washers.
- When watering the lawn, avoid watering the house, sidewalk or
street. Adjust sprinklers so only the lawn is watered.
- Never pour toxic chemicals down the drain, on the ground, or
in the trash. Choose natural household cleaners like borax, ammonia,
vinegar, and baking soda and recycle hazardous household waste
at waste collection centers.
- Promote water conservation by watering trees and plants only
once a week.
- Place a layer of mulch around trees and plants to retain water.
There are more acres of garden lawn in America than any other
crop!
- To protect groundwater, homeowners should go easy on using lawn
chemicals and pesticides. On average, 50%-70% of household water
is used outdoors for watering lawns and gardens. Homes with a
well and a public supply must never connect the two systems.
