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
½ inch of water every 3 to 4 days. Place water cans or buckets around the yard when you water. As soon as you get ½ 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. 4. 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.
ALLEY CLUTTER:
We have noticed that many of the city alleys are being used to park campers, trailers, fire wood and other debris. Please remember that these city easements are for utility services, city equipment and emergency equipment only. Please park and place all personal items on your own property, not in alleys. To avoid possible fines, please also do not fill alleys until two weeks before the city’s fall clean-up scheduled for next October. **Storing debris on streets or alleys is a violation of city code 3-1-13:A.
Storing items on streets or alleys is a violation of city code 6-1-2:A.**
A dumpster has been placed on the west side of Silo Park off of North Front & C Street for items that you need to discard. Household garbage is not allowed at the dumpster. Thank you for your cooperation!
