Editor Maria, here. Is your lawn looking a little crisp this spring? You’re not imagining it. Drought conditions have returned to Mecklenburg County, prompting Charlotte Water to issue voluntary restrictions across the area.
Right now, you’re being asked to cut back on water use, including:
- Limiting outdoor watering to two days per week
- Skipping car washes at home
- Avoid washing hard surfaces
Don’t fret. Charlotte Water shared conservation tips, plus a few of our easy routine changes:
- Take shorter showers
- Turn the water off while brushing your teeth
- Run full loads in the dishwasher and laundry
