The LADWP is getting serious about saving water these days. If you didn't already know, we want to share with you that there is a new conservation ordinance in effect.
It's great to know about because, well, it helps save our city's precious resource. It's also good to know about because fines are in effect for certain water no-no's.
Here's a rundown of the H2O DON'TS:
*Don't use water to wash down hard surfaces like driveways. (Brooms will do the job and provide a workout at the same time.)
*Don't serve water to restaurant customers unless they ask for it.
*Don't water your yard during the rain.
And DO's:
*Fix leaky faucets to save 20 gallons of water drip, drip, dripping down your drain.
*Adjust your sprinklers (if you have them) so there's no water wasted on the pavement--that'll save 500 gallons a month and prevent runoff.
*Run only full loads of laundry.
And if you own your own washing machine, you can get a $250 LADWP rebate for a new, high-efficiency model that can save 50% of the water you use in a year on the most water-heavy task inside the house. Find out how.
