Irrigation System Maintenance
Many irrigation systems can benefit from simple changes such as fixing or adjusting sprinkler heads, ensuring proper operating pressure, and implementing appropriate watering schedules. An Irrigation Efficiency Evaluation performed by a Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper (QWEL) can help property owners increase irrigation system efficiency and learn about best management practices which can result in healthier landscapes, less water waste, less irrigation runoff and reduced water bills.
For more information on outdoor water efficiency, please contact the Water Conservation Office at (505) 955-4225 or see Saving Water Outdoors.
