Town Green Fountain going dry
Due to the severe drought, the town has decided to drain the Town Green fountain to save water. The fountain uses recycled water, which we also need to conserve.
This is just one of the town’s proactive measures — including reducing irrigation and mowing at the town’s 19 parks — to cut our water use by at least 20%. Reducing water use by 20% is something that we all must do to ensure that there is enough water for health and safety reasons through these dry months.
Did you know that up to 80% of residential water use goes to irrigation? You can reduce outdoor water use and still maintain a healthy garden. The trick, according to the UC Master Gardener Program of Sonoma County, is to pay attention to our plants, their environment and our watering habits so we water when and where it’s most needed.
