Share the Gift of Water Savings This Holiday Season – SCV Water

The water we save now is the water we all have for the future. As the drought continues, one of the most meaningful gifts we can share this season is reducing our water use at home.  
It’s simple to enjoy the magic of the holidays with friends and family while using water wisely indoors and outdoors.   
For instance, wash full loads in your dishwasher during your holiday gatherings. You’ll have more time for meaningful conversations and holiday memories since you won’t handwash piles of serving platters, plates, cups, and cutlery.  
Remember to scrape your plate instead of pre-washing your dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. 
 Also, recycle water used for prepping festive holiday favorites that require steaming or boiling, such as pudding. The water saved can be used on your trees and gardens.  
And more guests coming to your home means more laundry and showers. Save water, time, and energy by washing full loads of your favorite holiday sweaters and cozy blankets. It’s hip to be a “water scrooge” and limit your showers to five minutes.   
If the SCV is hit with a rainy winter storm or a snowy winter wonderland, remember to shut off your outdoor irrigation during and within 48 hours following precipitation.  
From our SCV Water family to yours, we wish you a wonderful holiday season!
