Voluntary Conservation Program

The Dillon Valley District encourages water conservation. 

Voluntary water restriction are in effect from May 1st to October 1st.

• Outside usage is not allowed on Mondays.
• The water days for properties whose street address ends in an odd number are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
• The water days for properties whose street address ends in an even number, including 0, are Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
• Outside usage is not allowed between the hours of 12 PM and 5 PM.
• DO NOT water the gutter or road. Make sure your sprinkler is only watering your lawn.
• Never run an open hose. Always use a nozzle with a shut-off.
• Hand watering, using either a watering can or a hose with a shut off nozzle is ALLOWED at anytime (no restrictions as to days or time).
• Don’t overwater your lawn; step on the grass; if it springs back up when you move your foot, it does not need water.
• Check out www.SustainabilityStandard.org for water saving tips.

In addition continue with:

• Only run your dishwasher and washing machine when full.
• Check all pipes and faucets for leaks.
• Put a jug of water in the fridge instead of running the tap until it gets cold.
• Mow lawns 2–1/2 to 3 inches in height—taller grass height encourages deeper root growth and better drought tolerance. Return mulch clippings to the lawn.
• Check out www.watersaver.org for the right amount of time to water your yard and additional water saving tips.
