Outdoor water savings

Water early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler. Save: 25 gallons/each time you water
Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street. Save: 15-12 gallons/each time you water
Choose a water-efficient irrigation system such as drip irrigation for your trees, shrubs, and flowers. Save: 15 gallons/each time you water.
Water deeply but less frequently to create healthier and stronger landscapes.
Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants to reduce evaporation and keep the soil cool. Organic mulch also improves the soil and prevents weeds. Save: 20-30 gallons/each time you water/1,000 sq. ft.
Plant drought-resistant trees and plants. Save: 30- 60 gallons/each time you water/1,000 sq. ft
