The weather is changing and Dallas Water Utilities urges residents to adjust their outdoor watering to fit the season. Shorter days and cooler temperatures mean less water is needed to maintain landscapes. Additionally, saving water now lowers bills throughout the year.

Because wastewater is not metered, sewer rates are estimated by customers’ average water use during the months of December, January, February and March. Thus, lower water usage during these months results in a lower sewage charges all year long.

Below are some helpful tips for saving water and money:

• Add mulch around plants to reduce the watering frequency and provide protection from freezes.
• For Bermuda and St. Augustine grasses, apply one-half to one inch of water every four to five weeks, including any rainfall during the period. These grasses are dormant in the winter, so it is natural for them to turn brown until spring.
• Avoid over seeding lawns with winter grass, such as Rye grass, as more water and energy is needed to maintain it.
• Winterize outdoor spigots or exposed pipes when temperatures dip to 20 degrees to prevent pipes from bursting or freezing.

These simple steps can add up to significant water savings and learning to save water now ensures we have enough water for future generations.
