Fix Leaky Hose and/or Bad Washer

Another obvious step in water conservation outdoors, as in indoors, is to be sure that there are no leaks in your sprinklers, or hoses!

If leaks are not terribly bad in a hose, a few cents worth of electrical tape, and new washer could save hundreds of gallons of water, which could be put to use elsewhere. If however, the hose is in bad shape, it would be wise to simply replace the old hose with a new one.
