When you think of water conservation, many people think of low-flow plumbing fixtures or rain barrels. These technologies do decrease your water usage but not like evaluating your sprinkler system. According to an article in The Courier of Montgomery County, as much as 80% percent of water is wasted because of a sprinkler system.
Many municipal water districts (MUD) and city water organizations are worried about the impact of this on their decreasing water supplies. Some utilities though have a found an answer: WISE Guys. Water Irrigation System Evaluation is what wise stands for. This is part of the Vepo LCC Company. Essentially, certified irrigation specialist come to a business or home and evaluate the sprinkler system.
After the evaluation, the specialist recommends changes to decrease water usage and increase efficiency of watering yards. This in turn, saves the consumer money on their monthly water bill and also the municipality water can be conserved.
Several MUDs are offering this service to their members for free. A typical evaluation if the MUD is not paying for it ranges from $55-$80.
