💧 Small change. Big water savings.

Did you know that skipping just one day of irrigation can save up to 1,000 gallons of water? That's enough water for more than 8 hours of handwashing!

Simple actions at home can make a big difference for Florida's water resources. By watering only when your landscape needs it, you're helping conserve water and protect our rivers, springs, and aquifer for future generations.

Built for More Than Today!

At Flagler Habitat for Humanity, we build affordable homes that are energy efficient, water conscious, durable, and healthy. This means lower utility costs, conserved water, and a home that's sustainable for years to come.

Here in Florida, water conservation matters just as much. Florida Water Star certification focuses on efficient indoor fixtures and appliances, landscaping and irrigation. Certified homes can use up to 48,000 fewer gallons of water per year and save homeowners as much as $530 annually on utilities.

💧 Small change. Big water savings.

Did you know skipping just one day of irrigation can save up to 1,000 gallons of water? That's enough water for about 37 loads of laundry.

As Florida's rainy season continues, give your sprinklers a break when your landscape has received enough rainfall. Small adjustments to your irrigation schedule can add up to significant water savings while helping protect our water resources.

Every drop counts. 🌧️💙

Is your rain sensor working?

🌧️ Pause for rain. Avoid the waste. 💧

Did you know Florida law requires most automatic irrigation systems to have a working rain sensor or other shutoff device?

Rain sensors help prevent sprinklers from running during or after a rainstorm, saving water when your landscape doesn't need it. Take a few minutes this month to test your rain sensor and make sure it's working properly.

A functioning rain sensor can:
✅ Conserve water
✅ Help keep your lawn and plants healthy
✅ Reduce unnecessary runoff
✅ Lower your water bill

Small checks can make a big difference in protecting Florida's water resources.

Keep doing those rain dances!

Rainfall deficits are still being felt across much of the St. Johns River Water Management District.

As of Sept. 16, several counties remain more than 11 inches below normal rainfall over the past 12 months, with Baker County showing the largest deficit at 17.33 inches. Areas farther south are seeing smaller deficits, but much of the District is still drier than normal.

Even when we get afternoon storms, long-term rainfall deficits can take time to recover. That’s why water conservation continues to matter.

💧 Follow your local watering day(s)
💧 Water only when your lawn and landscape need it
💧 Check irrigation systems for leaks or broken sprinkler heads

Every drop counts as we work together to protect Florida’s water resources.
