Water Quality Reports

Keep our Water Clean
Got Hazardous Waste?

Saving water is easy; it just requires some extra attention to your usage:

  • Consider limiting showers to one per person per day.
  • Turn the water off while brushing your teeth.
  • Keep a bottle of water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run while the water gets cool.
  • Install new aerators on your faucets for more efficient flow and replace existing sprinkler heads with more efficient models.
  • Look at energy-efficient appliances and water systems

For saving on outdoor water usage:

  • Water during cooler times of the day — lawn watering is not allowed between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
  • Water no more than three days per week.
  • Do not allow water to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.
  • Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete and asphalt.
  • Repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days.
  • Do not irrigate while it is raining or during high winds.
  • Use a hose nozzle with a shut-off valve when washing your car.
