Tips and Tools

Conservation Tip of the Month: June

Add a layer of organic mulch around plants and trees to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year. If you are adding or replacing flowers, shrubs, trees or turf, choose low-water loving species. Ideas abound at the Denver Water Xeriscape demonstration garden. Also, if you're going out of town for a summer vacation, make sure someone is keeping an eye on your irrigation system. Summer power failures can reset your sprinklers and cost you money!
