WaterWise Irrigation Workshop - Dallas

 

What to do During the Drought

Spring is just around the corner and now is the time to make sure that your irrigation system that's been hibernating all winter is operating at peak efficiency. Just like anything else, your irrigation system needs to be maintained. Since outdoor irrigation accounts for up to 60% of water use in the spring and summer we need to make sure it is functioning correctly as to not waste a single drop.
