WATER – EVERY DROP COUNTS

Abiding to sprinkler regulations pays dividends. When using water responsibly and within regulations, power and operational costs are reduced saving our community money. Energy reduction also relates to less greenhouse gas emissions and less draw from our aquifer.

Water Restrictions
