The state is urging people and businesses to conserve water following the hot and dry weather.
Here are some tips recommended by the state: 
  • Use up to 50% less water with drip irrigation instead of sprinklers.
  • Only water when you need to. Most landscapes in New Jersey only need one inch of water per week.
  • If you have a pool, use a water saving filter.
  • Raise your lawnmower blade to at least three inches to promote deeper grass roots, which holds water more effectively.
  • Use water from air conditioner or dehumidifier to water your plants.
  • Use native plants that need less water.
The state says water demands right now are being met, but these steps make sure that reserve levels do not get too low.
