Brochure: Help conserve our city' s water supply  By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use  A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money
Criticism: For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner' s yearly water bills
A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.
