Warm Weather
During these nice Spring days, we are going to be tempted to start watering our lawns and gardens. Watering can increase your water bill significantly and conservation is important. Here are some helpful hints to conserve water:
- Water only when needed. Look at the grass, feel the soil, or use a soil moisture meter to determine when to water.
- Do not over-water. Soil can hold only so much moisture, and the rest simply runs off. A timer will help, and either a kitchen timer or an alarm clock will do. Apply only enough water to fill the plant’s root zone. Excess water beyond that is wasted.
- Water lawns early in the morning during the hotter summer months. Otherwise, much of the water used on the lawn can simply evaporate between the sprinkler and the grass.
- To avoid excessive evaporation, use a sprinkler that produces large drops of water, rather than a fine mist.
- Set automatic sprinkler systems to provide thorough, but infrequent watering. Rain shut-off devices can prevent watering in the rain.
- Water slowly for better absorption, and never water on a windy day.
- We're more likely to notice leaks indoors, but don't forget to check outdoor faucets, sprinklers, and hoses for leaks.

May Billing Update:
We appreciate your patience during this transition to a new bill printing company. They have been very responsive and helpful during an uncertain time for many. Your paper statements will arrive later than normal. Due to last month's bill going out late, your payment may have been received after the May bills were generated. If you would like to know your balance or make a payment, please give us a call at the office or using your account ID and Pin number on our payment portal.
