Did You Know?

Watering every third day helps the grass develop deeper roots and use moisture deep in the ground.

Small leaks and drips add up. Don't drip and drive.

Setting your air conditioner's temperature higher and using portable fans or ceiling fans helps keep your house cool while saving energy.
