Water Wise
Thanks to the efforts of countless scouts and leaders, Pleasant Grove homes have been
supplied with our citys Water wise efforts. Each home received a colored flyer and reminder magnet to
promote water conservation. We encourage every family to review the tips and recommendations to help
preserve our citys precious water supply. Being water wise means conserving as an individual, family,
and community. By doing our part, we can make a BIG difference for our current and future community.
Here are 3 examples of our water wise tips:
Set your mower to 2.5 to 3 inches to shade roots and better hold moisture
Always match the laundry water level to the load size
Soak pots & pans instead of letting the water run while scraping them clean
Help today by taking the pledge as a family!
Log onto conserve.plgrove.org/pledge. By doing so you can receive a window sticker
displaying your community support, and will be entered into our regular drawing.
