In Tualatin, we cherish our natural surroundings from – from the Tualatin River to our amazing Parks – and preserving our water is key to maintaining our community hubs. By adopting simple water saving practices, each of us can play a part in ensuring a sustainable future for our city and its beauty. Here are some easy tips for all of us to incorporate into our daily routines, making a positive impact on our local water conservation efforts.
- Fix Leaks Promptly: Check faucets, toilets, and outdoor hoses for leaks regularly. A dripping faucet can waste gallons of water daily.
- Water Wisely: Water outdoor plants, lawn, or garden early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation and try to limit your watering to about three days a week.
- Mulch It: applying mulch or bark dust around plants and trees can help to retain moisture in the soil, reducing the need for frequent watering.
- Full Loads Only: Running dishwashers and washing machines only when they are full can maximize efficiency and reduce water use.
- Plant Natives: When deciding on what to plant, look into drought-resistant native plants, which require less water and are better suited to the local climate.
By adopting some of these practices into your daily routines, all of us in Tualatin can make a meaningful impact on water conservation. Together, we can protect our precious water resources, ensuring a sustainable and thriving community for current and future generations.
