Save water by watering less
Thinking about watering that lawn this summer?? Turf requires 1-1.5 inches of water per week for optimal growth
– One inch irrigation = 624 gallons per 1,000 ft2
– A typical 1/3 acre lot with a 2,000 ft2 house footprint needs 7,812 gallons per week
Also, check out City Utilities new volunteer even/odd water days!
City Utilities is asking its water customers to participate in a voluntary odd/even watering program modeled after others in place across the country. The program is an effort to gain data on water savings possible if customers voluntarily alternate lawn irrigation. Visit http://www.cityutilities.net/newsroom/news03.htm for more information.

WQIP Update
The Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) has recently installed the 15th advanced onsite wastewater system! This project has helped provide cost-share for failing septic systems closely connected to surface and groundwater resources. This year the project will focus on utilizing these sites and the Onsite Wastewater Training Center at Valley Water Mill for demonstration workshops providing homeowner and installer training on advanced wastewater technology.

Tap water, please
Break the bottled water habit! Buy an eco-friendly water bottle, fill it at your tap and take it with you! Bottled water depletes our aquifers and fills our landfills with plastic bottles.
Food and Water Watch presents sound reasoning to support kicking the bottled water habit while you save money and the environment by drinking good ‘ol tap water. http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/water/bottled/
