The City of Sunnyvale has decided that it has enough water from its three sources this year, and will not institute drought restrictions. This could change if we have another dry winter this year.
The townhouse development where I live pays for my water as part of the Homeowners dues, but I still feel an obligation to try to save as much water as I can.
What can you do?
Most conservation methods involve using common sense, like watering your lawn and yard less frequently and doing it early in the morning when it is cooler. Check your sprinklers...you may be watering cement, too. Sweep your sidewalks and driveway, instead of using your hose.Be sure to use a car wash that recycles water.
...and don't forget to dispose of hazardous materials like motor oil properly so they don't contaminate our clean water supply.
