This Earth Day, we’re asking residents to consider everyday conservation, especially around the home, yard, and water pipes. You don’t have to overhaul your lifestyle to make a positive difference, small steps have a big impact. Here are a few simple ways you can help conserve water and care for the planet:
Water Smarter:
Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
Use a rain sensor or moisture meter to avoid watering when your lawn doesn’t need it.
Group plants with similar water needs together to avoid overwatering.
Use native plants that are adapted to the Texas climate, as they require less water in the summer months.
Fix Leaks:
A running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water a day.
Check outdoor spigots and irrigation systems regularly for slow leaks.
Monitor your water bill. Unexpected spikes can signal hidden leaks.
Upgrade Your Green Routine:
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and reduce watering needs.
Swap thirsty grass for drought-tolerant native plants in low-traffic areas.
Sweep driveways and sidewalks instead of hosing them off.
We are grateful for our Earth’s resources, and our district is committed to maintaining those resources for current and future generations. Being a good steward of the earth starts at home. Every drop, and every effort, counts.

This Saturday, March 22nd, is World Water Day. Let’s take a moment to recognize the importance of protecting and preserving water. By making small changes, we can save water, lower our bills, and help ensure a sustainable future.
Simple Ways to Conserve Water:
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes. This can save up to 2 gallons per minute!
Fix leaks promptly. A dripping faucet can waste hundreds of gallons over time.
Water your lawn early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
Install water-efficient appliances, like low-flow showerheads and toilets, to reduce daily water use without sacrificing performance.
Wash only full loads of laundry or use the appropriate water level or load size selection on the washing machine.
Use rainwater for outdoor plants by setting up a rain barrel; it’s free water for your garden!

Conserving water reduces strain on local water supplies, lowers energy use, and cuts down on your water bill. It also helps preserve rivers, lakes, and ecosystems, ensuring they remain healthy for future generations.
