• Take Shorter Showers
• Turn off the the water while brushing your teeth
• Use dishwashers and washing machines for only full loads
• Educate and teach your children ways they can conserve water in the home
• Insulate your water pipes to eliminate wasting water while it heats up

Water Conservation in your yard:

• Plant drought resistant plants, lawns, and shrubs

Together, we can all conserve water. LET”S DO OUR PART!!!!
