Water Conservation - Willard City and South Willard has become alive with beautiful flowers, trees filled with new leaves, and vibrant green lawns and fields. With the frequent spring showers over the past few weeks, there hasn’t been a need to use water for our yards. As spring becomes summer, we try to fill in the gap between rain showers with watering cycles. Water is a life-giving resource, but here in our area it is not an unlimited resource. In fact, during the recent Utah State Legislative Session there was much talk about how water is going to most likely be a significant factor to the growth, both residentially and economically, of Utah’s future. Therefore, the wise and conservative use of the water in our area is a high priority if we want to maintain a clean and sufficient water supply for our children in the future. Included below are 10 suggestions to consider in order to conserve water. Also there is a suggested lawn watering guide for northern Utah. Please make it a priority to implement water conservation techniques to safeguard our critical water resources.
1. Water in the early morning. You’ll need less water, since cooler morning temperatures mean losing less water to evaporation.
2. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
3. Fix your leaks. Fixing leaky faucets can mean big water savings.
4. Cut your showers short. Shower heads can use as much as 5 gallons of water per minute.
5. Choose efficient fixtures.
6. Use less electricity. Power plants use thousands of gallons of water to cool. Do your part to conserve power, and you’re indirectly saving water, too!
7. Don’t run the dishwasher or washing machine until they’re full. Those half-loads add up to gallons and gallons of water wasted.
8. Hand-washing a lot of dishes? Fill up your sink halfway with water, instead of letting it run the whole time that you’re scrubbing.
9. Shrink your lawn. Where possible opt for a xeriscaped landscape that incorporates water wise ground cover, succulents, and other plants that thrive in drought conditions.
10. Keep an eye on your bill to spot leaks. If your water bill spikes suddenly, there’s a good chance that a leak is the culprit. Call in a plumber to check your lines to save water and cash!
