Practices that conserve water should always be used. Examples of conservation measures include:
(A) Judiciously sprinkling, watering, or irrigating shrubbery, trees, grass, ground covers, plants, vines, gardens, vegetables or any other vegetation; eliminating wasteful sprinkling of impervious surfaces such as streets and sidewalks;
(B) Limiting water use while washing trucks, trailers, mobile homes, or any other type of mobile equipment;
(C) Limiting water use while cleaning sidewalks, driveways, paved areas or other outdoor surfaces;
(D) Repairing or replacing leaking water fixtures and service lines;
(E) Using appliances, such as clothes washers and dishwashers, only when they are full;
(F) Turning off water while brushing teeth or shaving;
(G) Using a higher lawnmower setting to provide natural ground shade and promote the soil’s water retention;
(H) Washing cars with a bucket of soapy water and using a nozzle to stop the flow of water from the hose between rinsing;
(I) Covering swimming pools when not in use to reduce evaporation.
