Just a few short months ago the rain would not stop and mowing grass was almost a daily occurrence. Fast forward and now our state is in a drought situation due to a lack of rain. Because of the extremely hot and dry conditions, residents are being asked to try to reduce their water usage. The biggest percentage of water usage in the summer months is lawn irrigation. Many cities, especially around the Des Moines metro area, are asking residents to water lawns every other day. Check with your city office to find out what your watering schedule will be. Also, be aware of water usage around your home such as leaky fixtures and washing only full loads of clothes or dishes. Anything you can do to help conserve the cities water reservoir will be greatly appreciated by everyone in your community.
