What you do makes a difference!
Every person who lives in our watershed has an impact.
Conserve water every day. Examples:
- Turn off water while brushing your teeth.
- Turn off water while shaving.
- Take shorter showers; use the runoff water from laundry or sinks (grey water) for your garden
- Shut off your sprinkler system when it's raining or xeriscape so you don’t need sprinkler
- Turn off water when shampooing your hair.
