Ways to help save our water!

Raw water customers

• Customers can voluntary reduce their water purchase by emailing customerservice@nidwater.com.
• Remember- reductions can only be made in 1/2  miners inch increments.
• Flood irrigation is strongly discouraged.
• For customers using raw water for ornamental landscape: limit outdoor watering. 
• Limit watering to early morning (before 7 AM) and late evening (after 9 PM).

Treated water customers

• Limit watering  to early morning (before 7 AM) and late evening (after 9 PM). 
• Customers are encouraged to adjust irrigation controllers to reduce usage for each zone by 20%.
• When possible, avoid the use of potable water for the irrigation of non-functional turf for commercial, industrial, and institutional sites as required for trees and other perennial non-turf plantings.
• Please see the District's Rules and Regulations for more information about reporting water waste.

 

Did you know?

Water use is typically 30-60% higher during the summer months, and lawns are the worst offenders. On average, a lawn needs to receive a minimum of 1” of water per week during dry conditions. To provide your lawn with one inch of water it takes about a half of gallon per square foot. That means a 100’ x 100’ lawn can use up to 6,200 gallons each week, or 24,800 gallons per month! Watering a lawn this size can increase your water bill by as much as $103 per month! 

In order to preserve water and protect District water rights, conservation and efficient water use must be practiced.
