In Your Yard

  • Only mow your grass when it's needed, taller grass shades the soil which helps it retain moisture.
  • Leave grass clippings on your lawn. Grass clippings are 85 per cent water which helps keep moisture in your cut grass and reduces the need to water.
  • Use a rain barrel to collect rain water and reuse it to irrigate your lawn or plants.
  • Check outdoor faucets, sprinklers and hoses for leaks and repairs.
  • Set up your sprinklers so they only water the grass instead of the sidewalk, street or your home.
  • Choose water-saving containers for your potted plants to help keep water in the pot and don't need to water your plants as often. 
  • Water your lawn infrequently and in the morning or late evening to help prevent evaporation.
