    Green Tip: Water conservation saves money, energy and resources

    As we move into the summertime period of heat and drought, we are reminded of the importance of conserving water on campus and at home. Simple steps to conserve water include: not watering lawns and gardens in the middle of the day; shutting the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing dishes; taking shorter showers; and immediately reporting leaky valves and pipes to Physical Plant for repair. Your efforts also help reduce utility bills and the use of energy needed to pump and treat water.
    Additional Information: Report Leaks to Physical Plant at 852-6241; more ways to save online
