During winter, your garden's watering needs change. Cooler weather means less water evaporates during the day. Your lawn and plants get less sunlight and grow more slowly, so their roots use less water. Adjust your automatic irrigation to water only as needed because in winter: 🥶 With shorter days and less light, plants grow slower and require less water to sustain themselves. 🥶 Plants, trees, and lawn go dormant to conserve energy and do not need as much water during this rest period. 🥶 Less light means less photosynthesis, and plants, trees, and lawn only consume water when they are actively photosynthesizing. 🥶 Overwatering can cause the soil to stay soggy, leading to root rot. Water less in cooler temps. Tis the season to #conservewater

If you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner at your home, please keep Fats, Oils, and Grease (#FOG) out of your drain during holiday meal cleanup. Remember to: 🍁 Allow #FOG to cool before discarding. 🍁 Pour cooled #FOG into a container with a lid, allow it to solidify, then throw container in the trash. 🍁 With a paper towel wipe and scrape #FOG from pans and dishes before washing them, then place greasy towels in the trash. 🍁 Don't rely on your garbage disposal to handle #FOG. Never pour it down the drain as it can lead to clogs. For a happier holiday, save your pipes from a #FOG clog this year.

Marina Coast Water District wishes you and your family good health and happiness this Thanksgiving. It is a pleasure to serve you. We are closed Thursday and Friday, November 27 - 28 for the holiday, but we can be reached at our Customer Service & 24-hour Emergency number at (831) 384-6131.

When cleaning up after your Thanksgiving meal, remember to keep Fats, Oils, and Grease (#FOG) out of your drain. #FOG hardens on pipes causing clogs which are harmful to the environment. So please: #TrashTheGrease. Pour gravy drippings or oily leftovers into a sealed container and place it in your trash. #WipeBeforeWashing. Wipe off dirty dishes with a paper towel before rinsing to remove any leftover grease. #GoEasyOnTheDisposal. Use the disposal to clear standing water in your sink, not to grind food bits! Stop the FOG clog this year. 🛑 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g5sxrr_q
