Have you heard of a rain garden? It’s easy to install, looks good year-round and has a positive impact on the environment!
A rain garden is a type of garden, designed to collect stormwater runoff from a roof, driveway or other impervious surfaces. Rather than rushing off into a storm sewer or a local waterway, the rainwater collects in a shallow depression in your yard. This area is planted with native grasses and wildflowers, such as golden rod, monkey flower and switchgrass, that are specially selected for their ability to gradually absorb and filter stormwater.
Rain gardens can have a significant impact on the water quality in our communities. Much of the pollution in streams, rivers and lakes has been carried there by stormwater. By taking responsibility for the rainwater that falls on your own roof and driveway, you’ll be helping to protect our rivers, streams and lakes from stormwater pollution. Adding a rain garden to your yard will also provide food and shelter for wildlife, and give you a whole new garden that’s hardy, low maintenance and naturally beautiful! - Check for Water Leaks in the House (4/21/2022)
Here’s a handy trick: check your meter two hours before and after no water is running in the house. If the reading on the meter has moved, it’s because there is a leakage. Call a professional and get it fixed immediately.

Reuse your cook water!
Boiling water for cooking, making tea, and other kitchen tasks can be a real water waster. Only boil what you need—don’t fill up the pot if it’s not necessary. You can also reuse water used for cooking by letting it cool first and watering plants with it.

Drinking Water
Keep a container or bottle of drinking water in the fridge. This beats the inefficient tendency for running tap water to cool it for drinking. This could save 200 to 300 gallons every month.

Laundry
Were you aware that laundry accounts for about 22 percent of all water usage in a household? When doing laundry run full loads and skip the extra rinse. By taking these small steps you will make a positive impact on water conservation!

Fix That Leak!
Fixing a toilet leak is a great way to reduce household water use
and boost water conservation. It may even reduce your water and sewer costs! If your
toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That
would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason! Try this
experiment: test for leaks by placing a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If the
color shows up in the bowl without flushing, you have a leak! - July 2020 (4/26/2021)
Cleaning Produce
Summertime is here and with fresh vegetables and fruits in season, try cleaning your produce in a bowl of clean water rather than cleaning them under a running faucet.

Scrape – Don’t Rinse!
Before putting your dishes in the dishwasher, scrape — don’t rinse!
Pre-rinsing can use more than 6,000 gallons of water per household every year.

Have you heard of a Water Pebble?
The water pebble is a small, disc that is placed near the plughole on your shower and measures the amount of water you use. It can also memorize your usage. During the start of your bath, it flashes a green light. The light will start to turn amber when you’re halfway through the acceptable amount of water then switches to red. While this may not make showers fun, it is an ingenious gadget that will help you save a lot of water during your next shower.
