City of Toppenish Public Works Department Tips on Water Conservation

  • Check to see that faucets are shut all the way off and make sure they don’t drip.  Faucet aerators are very inexpensive and easy to install.
  • Turn faucet off when brushing teeth.
  • Consider installing a High Efficiency Toilet, which uses 1.28 gallons per flush or less.
  • If washing dishes by hand don’t let the water run continuously.
  • Limit baths: you can save between 20-50 gallons of water per day. Showering with a low-flow or restricted shower head can help you save water and money.
  • Look for Watersense labels on products that have been tested to ensure savings & performance.
  • Electric water heaters use 25% of their electricity to heat the water.
  • High Efficiency Washing Machines. Look for Energy Star rated machines with low water per use load (water factor of 4.5 or lower). When doing laundry, only full loads.
  • Check for leaky outdoor faucets, pipes, and hoses. Repair or replace if needed.
  • Consider adjusting the mowing height on your lawn mower to a higher level. Longer grass shades root systems and holds soil moisture.
  • Use fertilizers sparingly. Fertilizers promote plant growth; they also increase water consumption.
  • Consider planting native plants and grasses that don’t require as much water as non-native plants otherwise known as Xeriscaping.
  • Don’t leave your sprinklers on all day. Instead, have a timer put on your irrigation system set so it doesn’t over water your yard. Grass has deep roots and needs only about one inch of water per week.
  • Water your lawn or flowers in either the early morning hours or later evening hours when it is cooler allowing the plants to absorb it more easily, and there is less evaporation.
  • Make sure that sprinklers are adjusted to specific areas on your yard, not sidewalks or in the street.
  • Install a shutoff nozzle on your hose so it doesn’t run continually.
