Drought? What Drought?
Austin's been locked in a battle with Mother Nature for a while now, and that means water restrictions are in place. Fear not, sudsy warriors! You can still wash your chariot, but you gotta be a water-wise warrior princess (or prince).
Here's the skinny:
- Ditch the free-flowing hose: Forget about blasting your car with a torrent of cool, refreshing H2O. Instead, use a hose with an auto-shut off nozzle or a trusty bucket. Every drop counts!
- Bucket Brigade: Channel your inner firefighter and go old school with a bucket and sponges. It's a workout, sure, but hey, think of the toned arms you'll have to show off at Zilker Park later.
Pro Tip: Looking to conserve even more water? Wash your car on a shady day or early in the morning to minimize evaporation.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
