IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REDUCE YOUR WATER BILL, HERE IS A SUGGESTED WATERING TIP: According to research from Utah State University in Logan, Utah, lawns don’t require as much water as many of us are giving them. Lawns should receive 1⁄2 inch of water every 3 to 4 days. Place water cans or buckets around the yard when you water. As soon as you get 1⁄2 inch of water in the can, stop watering and remember how much time it took the sprinkler to put that much water out. Set your timer to only give than much water every 3-4 days. You will have to water more frequently as it gets hotter in July or August (every 2-3 days). Increasing the amount of water only washes through the soil. There are also many water savings tips out online.
Water Usage Facts from https://www.networx.com/article/water-conservation-tips:
- The average North American uses 50-70 gallons of water daily. That amount can double in summer, with
lawn and garden care, swimming pools, etc.
- Three–quarters of all indoor water usage is in the bathroom.
- In a typical North American home, the toilet accounts for about one–quarter of total water use.
- Running a sprinkler for two hours can consume as much as 500 gallons of water.
- Washing your driveway or sidewalk with a hose gobbles about 10 gallons per minute.
