KEEP RUNOFF
IN CHECK!
INSPECT your irrigation system for leaks, misaligned sprinklers, and other issues.
DIRECT water to the intended target areas and avoid overspray onto non-landscaped surfaces.
PROTECT waterways from pollution by stopping runoff from leaving your property.
Embrace these practices for cleaner waterways and a sustainable future. Remember, only clean rainwater in streets and storm drains.

Did you know? The average household wastes 180 gallons of water per week due to leaks, amounting to 9,400 gallons annually per household and a staggering 900 billion gallons nationwide. Runoff from outdoor leaks carries pollutants like pet waste, trash, yard debris, and chemicals into storm drains, harming local waterways and ecosystems.
TAKE ACTION
Audit Your Irrigation System: Adjust it to spray only on your landscape, not on driveways or streets.
Check for Breaks: Fix broken sprinklers and adjust timing to avoid overwatering.
Stop Leaks: Replace leaky hoses, saving water and preventing pollution.
Reduce Watering Time: Prevent runoff by routinely adjusting watering duration. As the weather cools down or warms up, your watering time will need to be updated.
