The temptation to wash the dirt and debris off from your sidewalk, porch, patio or walkway is an easy one to give into. These areas are often cleaned in a short time and left wet to dry, which makes for an easy exercise in tidying up your lawn.
However, every time you do this, you waste atleast 80 gallons of water. That’s 80 days worth of clean drinking water for everyone in your family. That’s 80 gallons of water you have to pay for both in consumption and waste to your water bill. That’s 80 gallons you could avoid using because there’s another way to get the job done.
So next time, pick up a broom and put down the hose. A few strokes of a push broom is a great step towards water conservation.
Here’s a poster we’ve created to reinforce this message:
