Get your sprinklers ready for summer

Summer will be here before you know it, and now is the perfect time to make sure your sprinklers are working their best for a healthy and water-wise landscape. Here’s what to do:

• Turn on your sprinklers one zone at a time and look for any broken, clogged or misdirected sprinklers.
• Check for soggy spots or pools of water in your yard and near your sprinklers. These could be signs of a broken pipe or loose connection.
• If you need to replace sprinklers, look for high-efficiency rotator sprinklers. They deliver water in heavy droplets that is more easily absorbed by the soil so more water gets to your plants and less is lost to evaporation.  
• And, don’t forget to check soil moisture before running your sprinklers to make sure you’re delivering the right amount of water.

Simple ways to save while you're at home

The temperature is starting to heat up, and so is your home. Here are some simple ways to cool down your house without turning on your air conditioner.

• Use a ceiling fan - Air moving in the room will help you feel cooler; but like a light bulb, make sure you turn it off when you leave the room.
• Draw the blinds or curtains - Even efficient windows will let in heat; keep your home cool by blocking out the sun
• Open some windows - Early mornings or late evenings are a great time to open a window, and pre-cool your home for the day.
