10/1: WATER CONSERVATION
IS IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US. THE MENDOCINO COUNTY WATER AGENCY HAS TIPS.
Check your sprinklers and drip lines for leaks and make sure the sprinklers don’t
over-spray onto your sidewalks. To reduce evaporation, set the irrigation timer
to water in morning before sunrise. Sweeping the sidewalk is better than washing
it down. Also spreading a few inches of mulch around the base of your plants
will help the soil retain moisture. Improving our water supply means water
conservation now!
