Water Saving Tips

Inside Tips:

Use water saver Faucet Adapters. Come see us in person at the DVWD office. We are giving away 2 adapters per customer while supplies last.

Keep drinking water in the fridge, Instead of running the tap until the water turns cold, keep a pitcher on hand in the fridge. This way, no water goes down the drain.

Turn off the water faucet while brushing your teeth.

Outside Tips:

Set irrigation timers to water during the coolest part of the day (typically early morning or late evening) to minimize evaporation. Avoid mid-day watering.

Adjust your sprinklers, they should water your lawn and garden, not the street or sidewalk.

Adjust your mower to a higher setting: A taller lawn provides shade to the roots and helps retain soil moisture, so your lawn needs less water.
