As the summer heats up, there are many simple ways to reduce water use indoors and outdoors. Outdoor landscapes offer many opportunities for water savings. Regardless of the type of plants grown, a tune-up of your irrigation system can usually yield substantial water savings.
Attention to sprinkler system management, maintenance, and needed renovations can conserve water while producing better plant growth. Talk to your gardener or Sweetwater Authority’s conservation team for information on the new irrigation controllers, rain sensors, and sprinkler heads, which make saving water even easier.
