It’s A Dry Year, Save Water With Us

This winter we are experiencing a poor start to the rainy season, which follows on the third driest water year (Oct. 2019- Sept. 2020) on record in our region over the last 127 years. The lack of rainfall makes it more critical than ever to maintain WaterSmart habits as part of our daily routine. Winter is a great time check for leaks in your home and irrigation system, swap out that old dishwasher or clothes washer, or maybe even tackle that long-delayed project to implement water-saving measures in your home or backyard.
