Be Waterwise!

Water conservation is not only
good for the environment, it can
save you money as well.

You've probably heard about the large runoif
from the snowpack that built up over the winter.
You may wonder why we still have water
restrictions. The biggest reason.to keep
practising water conservation is that lower peak
water-use days let us maintain a smaller water
system. This allows savings to

be passed on to our

residents.

There are: oe
several’
ways. tha

you can help.
conserve water. During hot’ summer days, h
average household doubles its water use due
sprinkling. Your lawn only needs watering if it:
doesn't spring back after stepping on’ it. Eart
morning sprinkling reduces the chancé of your.
lawn becoming diseased. The* bathroom :
