Water Conservation

As the drought conditions continue to worsen, Manville WSC is asking all customers to do your part to conserve. Please follow the voluntary watering schedule.

There are a number of easy ways to save water, and they all start with YOU.

Follow these simple tips to help save water. 

• Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.
• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth and save 25 gallons a month.
• Check all waterline connections and faucets for leaks.
• Test toilets for leaks. 
• Do not let the water run when washing hands. 
• Use water-wise plants. 
• Inspect your landscape irrigation system regularly for leaks or broken sprinkler heads and adjust pressures to specification.
• Water only when needed. Look at the grass, feel the soil, or use a soil moisture meter to determine when to water.
• Water lawns early in the morning during the hotter summer months. Otherwise, much of the water used on the lawn can simply evaporate between the sprinkler and the grass.
• Do not "sweep" walks and driveways with the hose. Use a broom or rake instead.
• When buying new appliances, consider those that offer cycle and load size adjustments. They are more water and energy efficient.
• Never run the dishwasher without a full load.
• Always keep water conservation in mind, and think of other ways to save
