By Tom Lanier, Sprinkler Pros This article this month will be much shorter than usual because I’m leading you elsewhere to read up on this month’s subject. See below for the web address. If you are like us, the monthly usage graph on your water bill shows that July is the peak water usage month. For that reason, the Irrigation Association has deemed July to be Smart Irrigation Month to bring attention to the importance of implementing water conservation devices and techniques to reduce water consumption one property at a time. The Irrigation Association is an organization that’s overall goal is to help all aspects of industry, agriculture, landscape irrigation professionals, and homeowners make the best use of our most precious natural resource. There is a link to IA’s homeowner web pages dedicated to Smart Irrigation Month. There is a lot of great information there. There’s even a kid’s page with printable fun stuff for them. Go to http://www.smartirrigationmonth.org/. Once you are there, the left side of the page has links on various aspects of water conservation on the residential property. I can help you implement these best practices. If you would like a system evaluation, call me at 878.5449. I can also take care of sprinkler system repairs and improvements. Enjoy your landscape this summer! Spend more time outside. P.S. My apologies for such a dry article on such a wet subject.
