“It’s your Water”
Please report illegal dumping by contacting Code Enforcement at (817) 293-0525 during normal working hours Monday through Friday excluding Holidays.
After hours should be Directed to the Police Department (817) 293-2923.
In The Bathroom
- Install a low-flow shower head that restricts the flow from the shower to under 3.0 gallons per minute.
- Test toilets for leaks. Add a few drops of food coloring or a dye tablet to the water tank, but do not flush! Watch to see if the coloring appears in the bowl in a few minutes. If it does, the toilet has a silent leak that needs to be repaired.
In The Kitchen
- Never run the dishwasher without a full load. This practice will save water, energy, detergent and money.
- Use a small pan of cold water when washing vegetables rather than letting the water run over them.
For Outdoor Use
- Water lawns early in the morning during the hotter summer months. Otherwise, much of the water used on the lawn can simply evaporate between the sprinkler and the grass.
- Learn to know when grass needs watering. If it has turned a dull grey-green or if footprints remain visible, it’s time to water.
