Conserving water is of the utmost importance at this time.
The City of Lincoln recommends these simple tips to help conserve water:
| 1. Repair all leaks - indoor and outdoor |
| Dripping faucets, toilets, and sprinklers |
| 2. Analyze sprinkler usage |
| Try not to over-water lawns, trees, and other vegetation |
| 3. Irrigate only at night |
| This will increase ground penetration and reduce evaporation |
| 4. Improve indoor systems |
| Consider using tankless water heaters |
| 5. Reduce indoor use |
|
Shut off water while brushing teeth or shaving Run dishwasher and washing machines with full loads Reduce "pre-rinsing" dishes Shorten showers |
|
6. Encourage all family members to conserve water |
|
Eliminate driveway or car washing Consider using public car wash businesses- many use recycled water |
