Hydration Tips & Smart Water Use

As temperatures are high across Northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota, water becomes even more essential for staying healthy, protecting your home, and keeping our system running smoothly. Summer heat puts added stress on both people and water systems, so simple habits can make a big difference.

Drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Carry a reusable water bottle when you’re outdoors or working.

Choose water over sugary drinks, which can dehydrate you.

Add fruit slices (lemon, berries, cucumber) for flavor without added sugar.

Check on kids, older adults, and pets, who are more vulnerable to dehydration.

Water lawns early in the morning to reduce evaporation. Follow local irrigation guidelines and avoid watering during peak heat.

Mulch around plants retain moisture.

Check hoses, sprinklers, and outdoor faucets for leaks. Watch for sudden spikes in water usage, which may indicate a leak.

Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full to save water and energy.

Shorten showers by just a minute or two. Small changes add up.

Our crews monitor system conditions closely throughout the summer to ensure safe, reliable water service. If you notice low pressure, unusual usage, or signs of a leak, please reach out. Working together helps protect our community’s water resources, especially during extreme heat.
