Water Budget Program
This program is designed to help customers efficiently manage the watering of their landscape. A monthly performance report, as well as a suggested monthly water allocation (water budget) for each dedicated irrigation meter, will be sent to those who are over their allotted water budget. An annual water budget report will be provided for each dedicated meter.  For more information call 619.670.2291.

 


Large Landscape Audit

An acceptable landscape appearance with minimum water use requires an irrigation system that is well designed, properly installed, well maintained and properly scheduled. A certified landscape auditor will evaluate the efficiency of your irrigation system and give you a report with water efficiency suggestions for your site. A limited number of audits are available. Call 670-2291 for more information about scheduling an appointment.
