Keeping it green while conserving water By TRAVINA COLEMANPress Staff Writer “I think it’s the best time,” he said. “That way they have a chance to benefit from the water before the sun takes it away.”
According to irrigation .org the key to efficient outdoor irrigation is applying just enough water and only when necessary. Water-wise habits will result in a healthier lawn and landscape, in addition to conserving water. Plus, reducing your consumption will help reduce your water bill. For those who would like to tune up their water irrigation systems, you can install a weather-based irrigation controller, or just become more aware of your watering habits. According to the web site, July is generally the hottest month of the year, when plants need the most irrigation. Most of the water used by residential customers is used on landscapes by at 50 to 60 percent or more. Lastly, more water is wasted in landscape irrigation than in any other use.
