Be Water-Wise this Summer

Posted: Thursday, April 29, 2021

With the hot summer days ahead, Mesa Water encourages you to be water wise! Manage your water use with these tips:

  • Add mulch to cover your soil saves 20-30 gallons/1,000 sq. ft. each time you water.
  • Adjust your sprinkler schedule, and fix sprinkler leaks – saves 12-15 gallons each time you water.
  • Install drip irrigation and a smart controller – saves 15 gallons each time you water and 24+ gallons/day.
  • Use a broom on hardscapes – saves 8-18 gallons per minute of work.
  • For pools, use a cover to reduce evaporation – saves 10,000-15,000 gallons per year.
