Water Wise Denton

Suspicious you may be losing water through a leaky toilet? Place a few drops of red or blue dye in the tank and wait 15 - 20 minutes. If the dye appears in the bowl, you know your toilet is leaking. This type of leak is most often caused by an issue with your toilet flapper valve, which usually costs between $5-10 to replace, and is readily available at hardware stores.

Introducing Echinacea!

If you are looking for a visually striking plant with very low water needs, Echinacea may be for you! This perennial, which is also commonly referred to as purple coneflower, will come back year after year, and is well suited to the North Texas Area. This plant only needs water 1-2 times a week during extreme heat and drought, making it a perfect plant whether or not watering restrictions are in place!

Make sure you are only watering between the hours of 6pm and 10am to avoid scorching your lawn.
