Watch the paper for conservation information and restrictions. Sixty percent of summer water usage is for irrigation of landscapes. There is no need to water unless you can see your footprint in the grass early in the morning or late in the evening. And remember, sidewalks and driveways do not require watering. A leak of one drop per second wastes 2,400 gallons per year.
Most leaks are easy to detect and easy to repair with some basic know-how and a few simple tools.
If you wish to wash your own car and save money, you must save water doing it.
