Voluntary Plan Lists Wasteful Water Practices
The Board of Water Commissioners has adopted a water conservation plan requesting and encouraging customers to conserve water voluntarily.
The policy discourages:
* Using a hose to wash walkways, driveways, parking areas and other hard surfaces.
* Cleaning, filling or refilling non-recirculating decorative fountains.
* Serving water to restaurant customers unless expressly requested.
* Watering lawns and landscape areas from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
* Allowing leaks to continue without repairs.
For more water conservation ideas, call the Long Beach Water Department at 426-5951.
