As summer kicks in, the sun’s blazing, sprinklers are spinning, and your water bill might be feeling the heat. Don’t worry; we’ve got your back. A few smart moves this month can save water, money, and stress. And yes, your yard can stay green without turning your hose into a slip 'n slide.
Three things you can do to ensure you are saving water this summer:
- Sprinkler check = water checkmate
Give your irrigation system a quick tune-up. Fix leaks, adjust spray heads, and stop watering the sidewalk. Your plants will thrive, and your bill will chill.
- Water early, not often
Before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m. is the sweet spot. Midday watering? You might as well water the sun.
- One swap = big savings
Look for the WaterSense® label on showerheads, faucets, and toilets. These EPA-certified products use at least 20% less water and still achieve the desired results.
Worth noting: Even small leaks in irrigation systems can waste thousands of gallons each year. A quick fix now can mean significant savings all summer long.
