Information on Water Conservation in San Diego

In this time of drought, it is especially important to re-evaluate the way we use water. There are many easy things that we can each do to help save water – and get the dual benefit of protecting the quality of our streams, lakes, and ocean at the same time!

What Can I Do?
Sweep up - Use a broom to clean your driveway or porch instead of a hose. You’ll get the benefit of exercise and fresh air while saving water.

Tune up - Adjust your sprinklers to water your landscape, not the pavement. While you’re at it, fix those leaky pipes, faucets and sprinkler heads, to save as much as 20 gallons of water per day.

Cover up - Just a few inches of mulch will not only prevent weed growth and other pests, but can save 40 gallons of water per day.

But these are just a few ideas. For more information on San Diego programs and possibilities to conserve our precious water, please visit our website:
