No Water Woes In Lethbridge So Far This Summer
LETHBRIDGE – While there hasn’t been any water restrictions or advisories issued in Lethbridge this year, that doesn’t mean the city wants residents to forget about the importance of water quality and quantity.
With summer in full swing, Stephanie Vehnon, Communications for the City’s Waterwaste Department, said she wants residents to think about how to efficiently maintain a healthy lawn while being mindful of water use.
“There are a lot of tricks for learning how to conserve water, such as laying a Frisbee upside down on the lawn. When the Frisbee is full that’s all the water that is needed, only about an inch a week.”
Vehnon also suggested avoiding mowing the lawn too frequently and to hold off on raking lawn clippings as leftover grass cools the surface and helps to lock in moisture.
