Most lawns need about an inch of water a week – or every three days if its really hot and dry. Use the tuna can method to measure how long it takes your lawn to get an inch of water. |
If it doesn’t grow, don’t water it.
|
If you’re watering your sidewalks, adjust or replace your sprinklers. Water only as fast as your ground can absorb. |
Water early in the morning…
|
…or in the evening. Your lawn gets more water because less evaporates. |
Wash the car, not the gutter.

A running hose uses at least 100 gallons every 20 minutes. A sudsy bucket and a hose rinse with a shutoff nozzle can do the job with 15 gallons, period, or go to a car wash that recycles their water. |
