A quiet week on the news front.
This week
there was a weaker than expected jobs report, but that goes against the trend
of the 1st quarter. So we will need to keep an eye on the next
report to see.
Interest
rates are still very low and the detailed minutes of the Federal Reserve
meeting showed that some of the board was pushing for the rate increases to be
postponed.
Home Tip of the Week.
Keeping your home
browner. Yes brown is the new green in our drought. Gov. Brown has mandated a
25% reduction in water.
#1. Fix all
leaky/dripping items. A leaky toilet or dripping faucet can waste over 10,000
gallons a year!
#2. Get water
conserving devices. Low flow shower heads, hose nozzles, and more are FREE at
the Napa water board.
#3. Reduce your
outdoor watering. Letting your lawn be a little brown is ok. But look to
replace your landscaping with drought tolerant plants. Instead of spray
irrigation also consider drip or other more efficient methods.
#4. Change your
habits. Running water while brushing your teeth for 2 minutes can waste over 5
gallons each time. 10 gallons per day per person in your home adds up very
quickly.
Here are 100+
other ways to conserve that don’t include “if it is YELLOW, let it MELLOW. If
it is BROWN, flush it DOWN”
