Drought conditions remain a concern across much of the region, reminding us how important it is to use water wisely. Small actions at home, outdoors, and on the farm can help reduce demand and protect our groundwater resources during dry periods.

An average grassy lawn can require significant amounts of water to maintain, especially during a summer as hot as this one.

Xeriscaping can help reduce outdoor water use while still creating a beautiful landscape. And don't worry, a xeriscape doesn't mean your yard has to be covered in gravel and rocks. Xeriscapes often incorporate native, drought-tolerant plants that can help keep your landscape both efficient and attractive.

The upcoming fall planting season is a great time to consider establishing a xeriscape on your property. You don't have to convert your entire yard at once. Even transforming a small section can help save water. Now is a great time to research, plan, and talk with local nurseries or landscaping experts about how to get started.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Labor Day!

While our office is closed today, we encourage you to celebrate responsibly and help protect our community. Remember to follow fire prevention tips if you’re grilling or spending time outdoors, and keep water conservation in mind as you enjoy the holiday.

Every small action makes a difference. Let’s work together to keep our community safe and our groundwater protected.

We’ll be back during normal hours tomorrow!

Mulch isn’t just for looks, it can help your garden conserve precious moisture!

By adding a few inches of organic mulch to your flower beds and shrubs, you can lock in moisture, reduce evaporation, and keep those pesky weeds at bay.

That means healthier plants and less water wasted. A win-win for your garden and our groundwater!

Ready to maximize your water? See if adding mulch could work for your garden or flowerbeds.
