Did you know… most of the water used at home goes toward outdoor irrigation?

In Southern California’s warm, dry climate, watering lawns and landscapes can account for more than half of a household’s total water use, especially during the summer months. That means small adjustments outside can lead to big water savings.

Simple steps like watering early in the morning or evening, adjusting your sprinkler schedule based on the season, and checking for broken or misaligned sprinkler heads can make a noticeable difference. Swapping out high-water-use landscaping for more drought-tolerant plants is another great way to save water long-term.

Every drop saved outdoors helps protect our water supply for the future.
