Water Conservation Measures

Dear Residents of Paloma Creek,

As we begin to navigate the Stage 1 Water Restrictions within our community, water conservation remains a crucial responsibility to uphold. Although our lake levels are currently in good condition, high water usage puts significant strain on our water treatment facilities, leading to longer treatment times and potential disruptions in the quality and efficiency of water delivery to our homes. By conserving water when possible, we can ensure that our treatment processes remain effective and sustainable. Here are some tips to help conserve water outdoors:

  • Avoid daytime watering. Only water before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
  • Check and update your sprinklers. Check for leaks, broken heads or heads spraying patios, the street or driveways.
  • Turn off sprinklers when it's rainy or windy. Look at the forecast and turn off the irrigation system.
  • Cycle and soak. Instead of one long water session, water in a couple of short cycles (5-6 minutes each) with an hour in between
  • Add a smart controller. It automatically adjusts your sprinkler system based on weather and watering restrictions.
  • Install multi-stream and drip. Update to more efficient multi-stream heads, and use drip irrigation for flower beds, young trees, and your home’s foundation.
