With cooler temperatures settling in and lawns needing less attention, it’s a great time to shift into water-saving mode. Let’s explore some smart, seasonal ways to conserve and get prepared for winter.

Here are some tips so you can feel extra confident you're doing all you can to be water wise this winter:

• Insulate your water heater: Before it gets cold is a great time to consider insulating the tank of your water heater.
• Adjust Your Watering Schedule: During the fall and winter, many plants, including grass, go dormant and require less water than they do in summer. Now is a good time to cut back on outside watering, which can save you money on your water bill and help conserve water for the warmer months when plants grow actively. Check your irrigation schedule!
• Locate the shut-off valve: Know where your main water shut-off valve is located, and any shut-off valves inside your home in case of a plumbing emergency.
