Are You Wallet Or Water-Conscious? Check out these simple conservation tips!

  1. Scratch the grass. And replace it with xeric shrubs, ground covers and water-efficient grasses, such as Blue Grama, Buffalo Grass and Dog Tuff™. Learn about our Lawn Replacement program. Discover beautiful native plant/xeriscape options for your yard.
     
  2. Reduce fertilizer fever. Fertilizer promotes plant growth, but also increases water consumption. Apply the minimum amount needed.
     
  3. Train your turf. Proper lawn watering techniques, like using less water and irrigating deeply and infrequently, can save thousands of gallons of water annually. Check out your current, local watering schedule.
     
  4. Upgrade and save. CPNMD offers rebates when you upgrade your sprinkler system with Rotary Nozzles, ET- based irrigation controllers and rain sensors. Learn more about our rebates.
