Be careful how much water you use to shield yourself from the triple-digit heat.
That's the message from Water Conservation officials during this valley heat wave.
They're asking the public to not waste water, and to keep in mind our farmers and firefighters, who also need water too.
Their water-saving tips include checking your plumbing for leaks, avoiding long showers, and making sure not to overuse your sprinklers.
"I think folks are starting to understand, especially in the valley now, with so many people suffering, so many farmers and farm workers suffering, it affects us too, it affects our economy. So I think it's important," said Nora Liakam, Water Conservation Supervisor.
They also recommend drinking plenty of water throughout the day, and limiting time outside to the morning and night.
