This month, our goal is to encourage every resident to reduce the amount of water they use in their yard. By following the simple actions detailed below, you can cut back on the amount of water you use to maintain your lawn and gardens, thereby reducing the amount of runoff that leaves your property and enters Maunalua Bay.
With this month being greatly affected by COVID-19 and folks encouraged to stay home as
much as possible, we ask that you take time to implement these easy changes to reduce your water use.
Watch the video below and read on to learn about the monthly actions!
