Tired of those big water bills?

Electric City is trying to help its residents out by providing some tips for them.

Here they are:

- Fix leaks promptly, little drips can waste a lot of water.

- Replace your showerhead with a low flow model (available at Electric City city hall),

- Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth and shaving.

- Keep drinking water in the refrigerator; running your tap until the water gets cold wastes water.

- Wash only full loads in your dishwasher and washing machines.

- De-thatch and aerate lawns for better water absorption. Clip lawns no shorter than two inches.

- Leave your grass clippings on the lawn. They are 90 percent water and provide nitrogen.

- Water in morning hours, before 10 a.m. to avoid excessive evaporation and prevent mold.

- Adjust sprinklers so you are watering only what grows, not the street or sidewalk.

The information was included in a recent water quality report to residents in Electric City.
