Water Conservation
Water conservation puts less strain on our drinking water supplies, while also reducing wastewater discharges that pollute streams, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Conserving water puts less strain on a community during drought and dry weather.
Viewer Tip: Divert water from roof and air conditioning runoff directly into planters or rain barrels for use in landscaping. Sweeping the sidewalk instead of hosing them down reduces runoff and conserves water.
Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
