We have entered a Level 1-Mild Drought
Please take measures to conserve water - every drop counts.
We have entered a Level 1-Mild Drought following lower than normal rainfall for the past three months. Although this is a mild drought, it is significantly important that outdoor watering is limited as we enter the spring/summer growing season to reduce the strain on our water resources. When a drought occurs, the existing pressures on the ecosystem’s natural water supplies are amplified and can cause a loss of delicate wildlife habitats, have an impact on plant growth, increase in fire danger, etc. Here are some tips on water conservation:
- Use a water efficient flushing toilet
- Find and repair leaks
- Take a quick shower
- Convert to water saving faucets – avoid wasting water
- Use an energy efficient washing machine
- Water plants during the coolest part of the day
