As we enter July, the month of the highest irrigation demand, it’s important to consider the value of efficient water use. First launched by the Irrigation Association in 2005, Smart Irrigation Month is meant to raise awareness about the benefits of using water wisely, for your lawn, the environment, and your wallet.
A water-efficient irrigation system can:
- Reduce your utility bill
Help maintain a beautiful, green lawn—watering too much can result in weed growth, fungus, and disease
Protect the earth’s water supply for our children and grandchildren
There are a number of steps you can take to water efficiently, while maintaining a healthy lawn:
Water more often, for shorter periods of time, so your soil can absorb more water and reduce wasteful runoff.
Adjust each zone in your irrigation system to account for varying soil type and sun exposure throughout your lawn.
Be sure to set sprinklers to water your lawn, rather than your driveway or street.
Water when the sun is low, typically between evening and early morning. When temperatures are cooler, less water is lost to evaporation.
Adjust your watering schedule based on seasonal weather conditions.
The Veron Company designs and installs irrigation systems that provide your lawn and plants with just enough water to be healthy and beautiful. We install an automatic rain sensor in all of our systems to prevent waste. Additionally, we offer irrigation system audits to assess the efficiency of your current system. Audits determine the flow of water and identify system hardware problems. After review, our technicians can provide recommendations to make your system more efficient and conserve the maximum amount of water, while maintaining the needs of your property. Go Green!
