Fall Cleanup
The next time your driveway or sidewalk needs cleaned, use a broom instead of the hose. A garden hose 3/4 inches in diameter uses 23 gallons of water per minute.
Using a broom instead of a water hose also helps keep pollutants such as grease, oils and pesticides from running off into creeks and rivers.
So next time, put down the water hose and pick up the broom. You’ll be taking a great step toward saving water. Sacramento Suburban Water District thanks you for conserving water and using it efficiently.
