Winter Conservation Tips

While your irrigation system is off and plants are dormant, winter is the time to look at indoor water use. Take a day to look at your fixtures, do any of them need to be upgraded to reduce waste or fix drips? Check your toilet with a dye tablet to ensure it doesn’t have a silent leak.  

Additional Cold Weather Tips:

• Know where the main water shut off is in your home. Should a leak occur you can stop it quickly while you repair the leak or seek professional assistance. 
• Insulate expose pipes to reduce risk of damage and leaks.
• Check for leaks after each thaw (water spigots, exposed pipes, irrigation systems if not yet winterized).
• Drip sinks that are on outer walls. Catch the drips in a large bowl or pan to use for watering indoor plants or cooking.
