It ii important to keep lawns and gardens green and even more important to meet household needs and keep a safe reserve against possible fire on a large scale. You have been using water wisely and there is every reason to believe that the summer danger season will be over without serious shortage. However, we must continue to conserve until rainy season Is really here and that's EVERYONE'S obligation and responsibiltiy. Re member! It's YOUR water for your use and protection! ow to Conserve Water Use It sparingly en lawns and gardens don't waterlog the soil as moderate irri gating is most effective. See that all faucets are free from leaks. Please don't let precious water run down gutters that is inexcusable waste. Don't forget that extravagance and waste of water is sabotage.
