Tips for
   UC Village Residents:

  • Take shorter showers.
  • Turn off the water while washing your hands, shaving or brushing your teeth.
  • Run washing machines with full loads.
  • Fix leaky faucets and toilets. Report leaks immediately to the Village Office at (510) 526-8505 ext. 210.
  • Not sure if your toilet leaks?  Drop some food color in the tank -- if any of the color shows up in the bowl, you have a leak.
  • Wash fruits and vegetables in a pan of water rather than running the tap.
  • Plant drought tolerant plants around your home and water less frequently but more deeply.
  • Water your garden when it's cool to minimize evaporation
