Reduce Your (Water) Use, Outside Edition

Are you a water hog, or a water miser at home? Join the Great Swamp Watershed Association on October 24 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. for this workshop to learn concrete steps you can take to reduce water use—and your water bill—outside of your house.


Whether you live in town or in the country, we don’t blame you for giving up on your yard and property after all the floods, droughts, and other crazy weather we’ve had. Take this opportunity to regain control and learn how a few simple landscaping techniques can reduce your need for excessive watering and help you ward off flood waters.


We’ll examine different types of irrigation that conserve water when you need it and contain it when you’ve got too much. We’ll also show you how to get free water from the skies, even when it’s not raining! This is your chance to waterproof your yard and stop paying that expensive water bill every year.
