Watch Where You Wash

If you use the weekend to bathe your dog, wash your car, or play in the sprinkler, think about where in the yard you do these things. If you normally water your grass, do other water-related activities in areas that need some irrigation. By pulling double duty as you give Fido a bath, break out the Slip ‘n Slide, or clean the exterior of the minivan, you’ll make sure that the dry spots in your lawn get some moisture. This time of year, water conservation is very important, so make sure you’re doing your part to save every drop.
