water use...

As residents of a desert climate, we all have a responsibility to conserve our limited water resources, especially during the hot summer months. We offer the following valuable tips to reduce water use in your business:

  • use low-water landscaping.

  • maintain sprinkler systems and use them sparingly; consider using drip irrigation.

  • use dry clean-up methods, such as sweeping.

  • make sure water isn't being wasted; fix leaking or misaligned pipes. irrigations systems and dripping faucets, and replace water fixtures with low-flow devices.

  • For information on finding or becoming a professional gardener who can make your landscape healthy and beautiful without wasting resources, visit www.greengardener.org.
