To measure rainfall, pick up a free rain gauge at City Hall or the Public Works Administration Building. 2. Reduce how often you water all plants while weather is cool. Water vegetables and annuals weekly. Water desert plantings and Bermuda grass no more than once a month. Winter grass needs water every 10 to 14 days. 3. Catch rain water coming off your roof in buckets. Cover buckets to keep dust and leaves out. Use the free water to mop, wash your car, and water container plants. 4. Don’t drain your pool unless it needs repairs. You’ll save 15,000 to 24,000 gallons of water, as well as avoid additional wastewater fees. Visit www.goodyearaz.gov for information on “Keeping Pool Water in the Pool.” 5. Cover your pool if you are not using it regularly. This reduces evaporation during sunny winter afternoons.
