Save money on your water bill this summer! Here are some tips for outdoor tasks:
1. Sweep, don’t spray! Avoid cleaning your driveway or deck with water, use a broom instead.
2. Washing your car at home can be harmful to our waterways. Use a commercial car wash instead, it uses less water and keeps all the dirt, oil, and chemicals from going into storm drains.
