Video: Tips for Conserving Water Outdoors

May is Water Awareness Month in California, so it's the perfect time to think about how we can help conserve water here in Belmont Shore and Naples by implementing simple changes in our everyday lives. One obvious reduction: stop hosing down your sidewalk, trash cans, driveway or patio, which serves as the front yard here for many.

Although Gov. Jerry Brown declared that the California drought came to an end in late March, we still face long-term water supply challenges. And, conservation is vital in ensuring that we have an adequate water supply for the state's growing population.

So in honor of Water Awareness Month, Patch will be featuring water conservation video tips from the Golden State Water Company, which operates water service in some surrounding cities such as Cerritos. 

Today's video focuses on ways to curtail outdoor water use.
