Water Issues

JANUARY 24, 2014 - Due to drought in California, The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) recommends residents implement these simple ways to save water:

• Water lawns in the pre-dawn or early morning hours;
• Stop runoff and overspray from outdoor watering;
• Re-adjust watering schedules to allow for two shorter cycles with 30 to 45 minutes in between;
• Use a broom instead of a hose to clean off sidewalks and driveways;
• Give your automatic watering system a tune up by checking for broken and misaligned sprinkler heads and leaks;
• Talk with your family members and friends about saving water.
