Rancho Water - Conservation Tips 

12/2/2014

 
Picture
  • Try planting drought-tolerant and regionally adapted plants in areas that are hard to water or that receive little use. This may include narrow strips near sidewalks or driveways and steep hills.
  • Cover pools and spas to avoid evaporation.
  • Sweep your driveways and sidewalks with a broom instead of spraying them off with a hose. 
  • Check outdoor faucets, pipes, hoses, and pools for leaks.
  • Change your lawn mower to a 3-inch clipping height and try not to cut off more than one-third of the grass height when you mow. 
  • Consider replacing infrequently used lawn areas with low-water use plants or ground covers. 
  • Apply as little fertilizer to your lawn as possible. Applying excess fertilizer increases water consumption and actually creates more mowing for you! Use iron-based fertilizers to simply “green-up” your lawn instead. 
  • Recycle and reuse the water in fountains and other ornamental water fixtures. 
  • Check the level in your pool using a grease pencil. Your pool shouldn’t lose more than ¼ inch each day. If it is losing more than this, check elsewhere for leaks. 
  • Avoid bursting or freezing pipes by winterizing your outdoor spigots.
