Garden Hose Tips

A garden hose can use more than 10 gallons of water per minute. To minimize water waste, try these tips:

  • Put a spray nozzle with a cutoff handle on your hose so water doesn't flow continuously.

  • Sweep your driveway and sidewalks with a broom. Don't spray them down with water.

  • Check your hose connections for leaks.

  • Use hose washers between spigots and water hoses to eliminate leaks.

  • Rake and sweep leaves—don't hose them away.

  • Use a commercial car wash that recycles water.

  • Use a hose to water brown spots on your lawn.
