While hand watering your yard, focus on dry spots, and pay close attention so as to avoid runoff.

Reduce irrigation cycles by 1-3 minutes and be sure to water only in the early morning before the sun comes up.

Fix leaky or broken sprinkler heads and adjust sprinklers to avoid unnecessary overspray.

Use drips or bubblers to irrigate your flower and shrub beds. Replace spray head nozzles with rotator nozzles.

Landscape your yard with low water use plants. (See our page on landscaping to learn how.)

Clean sidewalks and driveways with a broom, rather than a hose.

Take your car to the car wash, or, if you chose to wash at home, be sure to use a self-closing hose nozzle.

Repair leaky faucets and toilets, or replace them with more efficient equipment.

Only run washing machines and dishwashers when they are completely full.

Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth, and keep showers to 5 minutes or less.
