WATER CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATION ~REMEMBER – EVERY DROP COUNTS
By the NJ Department of Environmental Protection

water-saving tips:

Do not over-water lawns and landscaping. Watering two times per week for 20-30 minutes in early morning or early evening ensures that plants receive the most water while developing strong, healthy root systems. Make sure sprinklers and irrigation systems do not water during or immediately after a rain and are set to avoid wasting water on the street, driveway and sidewalk.

Use a hose with a hand-held nozzle to water flowers and shrubs.

Turn off the faucet while brushing teeth and shaving.

To save water in the home, fix leaky faucets and pipes.

Run washing machines and dishwashers only when full.

Install high-efficiency, water saving toilets, faucets and shower heads.

Use a broom to sweep the sidewalk, rather than a hose;

Use mulch and native plants to conserve water in the garden;

Use a rain barrel to capture water from a downspout to use later for watering gardens and plants;

Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation to water trees, gardens and flower beds.
