1 <br /> City of Pleasanton Water Action Plan -January 2014 <br /> • Fix all leaks in around their home and/or business; these include leaky toilets, faucets, <br /> showers, and sprinkler hardware. <br /> • Eliminate water runoff from pavement, such as from landscape irrigation or washing <br /> hardscape (both are prohibited by Municipal Code). <br /> • Reduce the frequency of outdoor watering to one-day-a-week or less. - Regardless of <br /> limited rain, plants go dormant in the winter, and require little water. <br /> • For compatible irrigation controllers, use the "percent-adjustment" feature to reduce <br /> scheduled watering by 20 percent (winter watering can go down as low as 50%). <br /> • Water landscaping only between 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. to reduce water loss from wind and <br /> evaporation. <br /> • Use shut-off nozzles on hoses. <br /> • Turn off water when brushing teeth, shaving, or hand dishwashing. <br /> • Wash only full loads of clothes and dishes. <br /> • Install water-efficient devices, such as faucet aerators and showerheads (available for <br /> free from the City of Pleasanton: www.PleasantonWaterConservation.com) <br /> • Take shorter showers. Reducing showering time from ten minutes to five minutes can <br /> save up to 1 2.5 gallons if using a water-efficient showerhead. <br />
