Water Conservation Tips courtesy of Sask Water:

(Outdoors)

• Aerate, weed and compost your lawn, and leave grass clippings to increase its moisture-retaining ability.  Grass that is 6 cm long holds water better.
• Use a rain gauge to monitor rainfall.  A healthy lawn only needs 2-5 cm of water each week.
• Water your lawn in the early morning or evening to avoid evaporation, and never water on rainy or windy days.
• Plant native shrubs, herbs and flowers that require less care and watering.
• Use a bucket of water to clean cars and bikes instead of letting the hose run continually.
• Don’t clean sidewalks and driveways with the hose; use a broom and save up to 200 litres of water each time.

(Indoors)

• Use full loads only in dishwashers and washing machines and use the shortest cycle; each load uses 70-190 litres of water.
• Repair leaky faucets and always turn off taps tightly so they don’t drip.  A dripping tap can waste more than 20 litres each day.
• Don’t leave the tap running when brushing teeth or rinsing dishes, and save 7-12 litres per minute.
• Take short, 5 minute showers.  Save as much as 10 litres per minute by installing a low-flow showerhead.
• Install an ultra low-flow toilet, or place a toilet insert or weighted plastic bottle in the water tank, and save up to 14 litres per flush and 70 litres per person, per day.

SASKATCHEWAN ASSESSMENT REVALUATION

Saskatchewan's next revaluation in 2009 will use a market value standard for residential and commercial properties with a base date of June 30, 2006.  The assessment valuation changes will align Saskatchewan's assessment system for residential and commercial properties with other assessment jurisdictions for similar properties throughout Canada.  They will transform our current highly regulated and restricted property assessment system to a more flexible, results-focused market value assessment system.
