Water Conservation Tips for Summer

Summertime usually means more water consumption, but it’s important to keep responsible water use in mind. Not only is it an important environmental factor, but it’s also critical from a financial standpoint. Whether watering your lawn or washing your car, you can save water with some quick and easy tips. Sometimes it can be as easy as contacting a sprinkler system company in Burlington County, NJ for a checkup on your sprinklers. Here are some of the best ways to conserve water this summer:

  • Prioritize your watering needs: You should take some time out to look at what needs watering in your yard. Then, try and put them in order from most important to least. That way, you’re not watering something more than necessary. Newly planted trees, grass and shrubs should be your highest priorities. They’re still growing and vulnerable to malnutrition. The most effective method for absorption is a slow trickle of water from your hose. If the hose is spraying at full strength, the water will run off, wasting it. Older shrubs and trees can last much longer without water, although you’ll want to keep an eye on them during droughts.
  • Fix up your sprinklers: A broken sprinkler can waste a lot of water. It can spray water in the wrong direction, leaving parts of the lawn un-watered, or it may not spray water far enough. Both of these likely require finding a company for sprinkler repair in Burlington County, NJ. Checking your sprinkler at the beginning of the season can help you find issues early and avoid wasting water.
  • Rainwater recycling: Using rain barrels can save you money and water. A rain barrel that collects water from gutters can gather many gallons of water that would otherwise essentially go to waste. You can use that rainwater to nourish plants and trees or wash your car. Instead of rain barrels, you can channel the stormwater across your lawn or garden, guiding it from the gutter to where the water is needed.
  • Skip the carwash: Instead of using just a water hose to wash your car, use a bucket and a trigger nozzle for rinsing. Use the water in the pail as your main way to wash the car, and use the trigger nozzle on the hose to quickly rinse down the car. This will keep you from overusing water. You can also wash your car on the grass, which will water the lawn at the same time. This helps keep your water use a little more efficient.
