November 4, 2009 - Each week the Tampa Water Department posts a different water conservation "Tip of the Week" to help you reduce your water use and conserve our limited water resources.
Tip #51: Clean your driveway or sidewalk with a broom, not a hose. Just five minutes of hosing can unnecessarily waste ~25 gallons of water.
