WaterWise Tips
Simple ways to save water, and use it wisely.

Simple ways to save water, and use it wisely.

  • Reduce or remove grass and replace it with water-wise landscaping that uses up to 50 percent less water! If you require a functional play area, consider a more drought tolerant variety of grass such as St. Augustine or Hybrid Bermuda, or a ground cover such as Phyla Nodiflora (also known as Lippia).
     
  • Check your irrigation system frequently, and adjust sprinklers for overspray and runoff.
     
  • Minimize evaporation by watering between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
