Please Conserve Water

Due to the drought conditions, City of Granbury Water customers are being asked to voluntarily reduce water usage.

One of the best ways to conserve is to follow this lawn watering schedule: If your home address ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, only water on Sunday and Thursday. If your home address ends in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, only water on Wednesday and Saturday. Only water between the hours of midnight and 8 a.m. on your designated lawn watering day.

If you have a well or can draw water from the lake, please use those sources for lawn watering on any day you desire.

Water conserve plants

Lawn and plants

Don’t abuse the benefits of an automatic sprinkler system by over-watering. Set it to provide thorough but infrequent watering. 
Check sprinkler heads regularly to make sure they are working properly.
For plants that need more water, use a hose or watering can to give them additional water.

Kitchen Water conserve

Kitchen

Run the dishwasher only when full. This practice will save water, energy, detergent, and money. If your machine has a quick wash or light duty setting, please use it.
Install faucet aerators. You’ll never notice the difference, and you’ll cut your sink water consumption in half!
Dry scrape dishes instead of rinsing. Your dishwasher will take care of the rest.
Use garbage disposals sparingly. They can waste water unnecessarily.
Soak pans rather than scrubbing them with the water running.
Rinse your vegetables in a pan of cold water; it doesn’t take gallons of water to get the dirt off.

Laundry Water Conserve

Laundry

Wash only full loads.
Use the lowest water level setting on the washing machine for light or partial loads whenever possible,
Use cold water as often as possible to save energy and conserve hot water for uses that cold water cannot serve.
Conventional washing machines can use up to twice as many gallons of water per load compared to high efficiency machines.

Bathroom Water conservation

Bathroom 

Replace your showerhead with a water-efficient model.
Get in the shower as soon as the water becomes warm enough and take short showers.
Reduce the level of water used in a bathtub by half, or better yet, take a short shower.

Toilet water conservation

Toilet

Replace your old toilet with a high-efficiency
toilet that uses 1.3 gallons per flush.
Check toilets for leaks. 
Never use the toilet to dispose of trash.

Sink Water Conservation

Sink

Turn off the water while you are shaving. Fill the
sink with an inch of hot water instead of letting the
water run continuously.
Don’t waste water when brushing your teeth or
washing your hands. Shut off the water until it’s time to rinse.
