The Pennsylvania Drought Task Force has announced that several counties including Delco are under a drought watch.
Here are tips for conserving water inside and outside the home:
🛑Run dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are full. If you have a water-saver cycle, use it.
🛑Regularly check your toilet, faucets, and pipes for leaks.
🛑Consider water and energy-efficient appliances. Products and services that have earned the Water Sense label have been certified to be at least 20% more efficient while maintaining performance.
🛑Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes in the sink.
🛑Water your lawn only when it needs it. When you do, water in the early morning or evening to reduce evaporation.
🛑Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your sidewalk, driveway or patio.
🛑Set up a rain barrel to be ready to repurpose rain when it does fall.
