Outdoor Water Conservation Tips

Even though we use water every day, it is easy to take it for granted. Just imagine how you would function without clean water. It is everyone’s responsibility to conserve and protect water resources. The decisions and actions you make today truly affect our water resources for the future. The following suggestions will help you get in the habit of saving water in the great outdoors:

Ÿ Get a rain gauge to measure rainfall. One inch of rain per week is generally sufficient for lawns and gardens. Supplement only when rainfall is inadequate.

Ÿ Use mulch around landscape plantings. Mulch will help eliminate weeds and hold moisture in the soil.

Ÿ Select hardy plants that do not need much water. Native plants that are well adapted to your climate and soils will survive well without supplemental watering.

Ÿ Water during the cool part of the day to avoid rapid evaporation.

Ÿ Raise the mowing heights on your lawn mower. This promotes healthier grass that can better survive dry periods.

Ÿ When watering is necessary, water slowly and thoroughly. If you notice puddles or runoff, turn water off and wait for water to soak in. Also, be sure your sprinkler puts water where you need it—not on driveways or sidewalks.

Ÿ Wash cars efficiently. First, give the car a quick rinse, and then turn the water off. Wash one section of the car at a time and rinse that section quickly. Turn the water off each time.

It is the fate of the Property Manager to toil at the lower employments of life; to be rather driven by the fear of evil than attracted by the prospect of good; to be exposed to censure without hope of praise; to be disgraced by miscarriage or punished by neglect, where success would have been without applause and diligence without reward. While others may aspire to praise, the Property Manager can only hope to escape reproach, and even this negative recompense has yet been granted to very few.

As Property Managers, we all have learned primarily

through our mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions

rather than by our exposure to fountains of wisdom and

knowledge.
