You don’t need a gadget to make a big difference. Here are five common-sense ways to cut down on water waste:

  1. Don’t water on windy days. You’ll lose water to evaporation and overspray.
  2. Install water-efficient nozzles or drip systems. They deliver water exactly where plants need it.
  3. Choose drought-tolerant or native plants. They thrive with less water.
  4. Fix drips and leaks fast. Check for broken sprinklers, cracked pipes, or misdirected sprays.
  5. Check for rebates. Every one of our six local water agencies offer incentives for water-saving upgrades. Find out more at com/rebates
