You can help conserve water by following these guidelines:

• Landscape Audits - If you would like to get ideas on how to save water in your landscape irrigation, please contact the City at 324-2609 to schedule an audit.  Staff can assist with programming sprinkler controllers and provide tips on how to reduce your water needs for outside irrigation.
• Drought Tolerant Plants - The City has developed a list of plants which are very low, low and moderate water using plants to assist customers in selecting the appropriate plants for their landscapes.  Plants which use similar amounts of water should be grouped together and be placed on the same sprinkler valve so that irrigation can be tailored to the plant's specific water needs.
• Interior Audits - Audits of interior water use can be arranged by calling 324-2607.  The City can provide low flow shower heads, faucet aerators and provide tips on how to reduce your interior water needs.
• Swimming Pool Draining - Customers need to contact the Public Utilities Department at 324-2600 prior to draining their swimming pool.  Pool water must be clean, dechlorinated and the gutter clear of obstructions in order to drain to the gutter.  Water which is chlorinated, has diatomaceous earth, algae or other impurities must be drained to the sanitary sewer cleanout.  For additional information, please contact the Public Utilities Department at 324-2600.
• Water Saver Homes - Water Saver Homes are homes that include features that will save customers both water and money.  Builders that would like to have their homes featured as Water Saver Homes should fill out the Water Saver Home Checklist with the required documentation and submit it to the City for review.
