Officials Urge Water Conservation Amid Extreme Drought

How you can help conserve water

Residents and businesses are encouraged to adopt simple, everyday conservation habits:

• Regularly check for, and repair, water leaks inside and outside your home
• Shorten showers and turn off the tap when brushing teeth, shaving, and face washing
• Run dishwashers and washing machines only when you have a full load
• Don’t water your landscape during the hottest part of the day when evaporation is highest
• Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered, and not the house, driveway, or street

We urge residents to conserve water by any reasonable means, and we thank you for your help in conserving our most precious resource.
