Drinking Water Sources Plan
The Geauga County Department of Water
Resources has developed and maintains a
Drinking Water Sources Protection Plan. This
plan helps the department:
•
Provide the safest and highest quality
drinking water to our customers at the lowest
possible cost.
•
Establish strategies to minimize the
potential threats to our sources of drinking
water.
•
Develop strategies for expansion,
development, zoning and emergency
response issues.
•
Provide more opportunities for funding to
improve infrastructure, purchase land in the
protection area, and other improvements
to the well field.
Tips to Conserve Water
•
Older toilet models can use on average between 3.5 and 7
gallons of water per flush. A WaterSense labeled toilet can
use at least 60% less water.
•
Install a low-flow shower head and take shorter showers.
•
Turning off the tap when brushing your teeth saves 200
gallons
of water per month.
•
Install a low-flow aerator on faucets.
•
Don’t pre-rinse dirty dishes and only run the dishwasher when
it is a full load.
•
Keep a jug of water in the fridge so there is always cold water
at hand instead of running the faucet until the water gets cold.
•
Water your lawn in the morning or evening and not on windy
days – heat and wind will rob the lawn of water before it can
be absorbed.
•
Wash your car with a bucket of soapy water and only use the
hose to rinse. Wash it on the lawn to water the grass.
•
Make sure sprinkler systems are not watering the sidewalk or
gutters, adjust so all the water is landing on the lawn.
•
Mulch around trees and plants; this slows down the
evaporation
process.
•
An irrigation system sprays about 15 gallons per minute per
zone
so only water your lawn when it is needed and do not follow a
fixed
schedule.
