LBCA Water Conservation-Summer 2015

The 2015 summer season is expected to be one of the warmest and driest on record. We urge community members to use good judgement and use our precious water resource as sparingly
as possible.

With the aquifer levels as low as they are this year, we run the risk of well contamination by salt water intrusion, as a result of over water usage.
As a community, we need to revert back to an odd / even conservation method. If your house number is an even number, you can water on even numbered days.

Below are some additional reminders and tips to assist in water conservation:
• Adjust sprinklers so you are only watering the lawn and not sidewalks or streets.
• Water your lawn or garden in the early morning or late evening to minimize evaporation.
• Use sprinklers for large areas of grass. Water small patches of lawn and gardens by hand to avoid waste.
• Consider using a broom vs a hose to clean off driveways and sidewalks.
• Make sure you know how to shut off your automatic watering system in case of mal function.
• Water only when necessary.
• Minimize watering to two times per day and consider letting your lawn go dormant.
• Do not water any vegetation on community property.
• Refrain from washing vehicles.
We want to ensure there is enough water for all members to use for essential needs, during this unusually warm and dry summer season, so your assistance with water conservation is greatly appreciated by the Board and all LBCA members.
