Of all residential water uses, landscape irrigation presents the greatest water-saving opportunity. Excessively high water pressure contributes to inefficient landscape water use in many Front Range communities, including Fort Collins. Reducing water pressure to sprinkler manufacturersÕ recommended levels alone can reduce water use by one-third. Evapotranspiration (ET) based irrigation scheduling can result in significant additional savings. Learn how to maintain an environmentally friendly turf while reducing landscape water use by up to fifty percent. Charlotte Harms, Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor and owner of Component Systems LLC, will show you how to significantly reduce landscape water use without the work and expense of re-doing your current landscape and sprinkler system.
