Water Conservation

Living in the arid West obligates us, as Westerners, to use our water wisely!

Water Service, to all Tree Haus residences, is being pumped through a 4-stage filtration system.  Whether for domestic consumption or landscape irrigation, please know that ALL of your water is filtered!  In 2016, the Metro District spent over $12,000 dollars for filters.  The Tree Haus water plant pumped a total of 1.93 million gallons over the course of July in 2023.  During the same month, over 95,000 gallons of filtered water were pumped on three separate days, setting a new consumption record.  NO WATER WEDNESDAYS typically show a small reduction in consumption, reducing pump flow by 18-20,000 gallons.  We can and should do better.  PLEASE to do your part to conserve water, and DO NOT irrigate on Wednesdays.  

Additionally, to conserve water and to reduce plant operating costs, the Metro District Board asks residents not to water between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm.  The evaporative power of the sun and wind is strongest during the middle of any hot and breezy day.
The following Recommended Guidelines are in place at all times:

  - Even numbered addresses should water Sunday, Tuesday and Friday.

  - Odd numbered addresses should water Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

  - Mandatory No Watering on Wednesdays

  - No washing driveways and parking areas.

  - No running outdoor water features.

  - No washing vehicles at residences.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation

Other tips for conserving water:

  • Avoid watering in windy conditions.
  • Adjust sprinklers to avoid watering hard surfaces and set timers to avoid over-watering.
  • Water in short intervals to allow better infiltration through our clay soils.
  • Cut your lawn no shorter than 3 inches to reduce soil moisture loss and to promote deeper roots.
  • Avoid planting trees and shrubs or sodding new lawns during our drier, hotter months.
  • Plant native grasses and shrubs or drought-tolerant species around your lawn and gardens.
