New Mexico is facing severe drought conditions this summer. Fortunately, the wells servicing the Sandia Heights area are not experiencing significant reductions in their levels. Nevertheless, the Sandia Peak Utility Company thinks it prudent to inform its customers of water conservation measures. These measures not only save water but may help to reduce your monthly bill.
Tips on Saving Water in the Bathroom:
· Install an ultra low-flow toilet. These use 1.6 gallons of water per flush vs. 3.5 gallons or more.
· Install low-flow aerators and showerheads.
· Repair all water leaks.
· Take short showers instead of baths.
· Collect water with a bucket while waiting for the shower water to heat up and use it later for other purposes.
· Do not leave water running when shaving or brushing your teeth.
Tips
on Saving Water in the Kitchen and Laundry:
· Repair plumbing leaks and fix dripping faucets.
· Install low-flow aerator on all faucets.
· Do not leave water running when rinsing dishes.
· Run only full loads. Remodel with machines that use less water and are more energy efficient.
Tips
on Saving Water Outside the House:
· Use a broom, not a hose to clear debris from patios, driveways, steps, and sidewalks.
· In the summer, water your garden and lawn during the coolest part of the day.
· Direct downspouts or gutters toward shrubbery or trees. Collect rainwater in a large bucket for other outside uses.
· Adjust sprinklers to insure you are not watering the house, sidewalk, or street.
· Adjust the automatic sprinklers with the seasons.
· Shut the sprinklers off when it is raining.

PRV Maintenance:
Like all mechanical devices, Pressure Reducing Valves do not last forever and require maintenance from time to time. A plumber can determine whether your PRV is functioning properly and repair or replace a malfunctioning PRV. New Mexico Public Regulation Commission Rules require that “each customer shall be responsible for the installation of an adjustable pressure regulating device on the customer’s piping system as near the service meter as is practical.”
