NJ DROUGHT WATCH

New Jersey is currently in a DROUGHT WARNING.

Since June, NJ has seen 6-11 inches LESS rain than normal.

 

Will you help conserve water?

1️. Reduce usage by 65% and opt for a commercial car wash instead of washing your car at home.

 

2️. Postpone water-intensive yard work, like reseeding your lawn, until conditions improve.

 

3️. Sweep, don’t hose patios, driveways, and sidewalks. Never hose down paved surfaces!

 

4️. Fix leaks around your home and irrigation system to prevent water waste.

 

5️. If you’re still watering plants, use less water and consider a rain barrel or watering can.
