Steps to Conserve Water

Discuss your landscaping needs and plans with a licensed irrigation specialist
Discuss how long your irrigation system should run.
Remember that newly established landscaping will require more water than an established area.
Ensure that your irrigation system does not spray water on concrete, wood, stone, brick, or other hard surfaces such as sidewalks, streets, driveways, fences, or walls.
Use drip irrigation systems in small areas.
Grassy areas typically use more water than landscaped beds, so you should plan separate irrigation zones for those areas.
Make sure that there is correct water pressure for your irrigation system to produce large drops of water. Mist will evaporate. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations on pressures.
Understand how a rain or moisture sensor works to conserve water.
