Use Only What You Need


I like Denver Water’s latest ad campaign. It encourages people to make smart choices, with a focus on not wasting water. Many people water too frequently, or for too long. The biggest visible waste I see in my neighborhood is people watering in the middle of the day (between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.) and/or when it’s windy. Helloooooo!

The watering amount recommended for the month of May is 1” per week. That’s it! And if our rain showers continue, we may not have to use our sprinkler systems at all (I have yet to water my lawn this spring).

Visit the Denver Water web site and click on Tap-Smart Irrigation for Homes for more information.
