When thinking about water conservation, having your irrigation system thoroughly run through each season can make a huge difference 🪛💦
Don't forget, underground irrigation is in no way a "set it and forget it" system. Things get bumped out of adjustment and broken regularly, so it's important to get eyes on the system regularly to ensure everything is operating as efficiently as possible. 🔧
According to the EPA, one broken sprinkler head can waste 25,000 gallons of water in six months, and a leak as small as the tip of a pen can waste 6,300 gallons of water per month. 😱💦

All of Deschutes County is still in drought, so what can we do to help? 🧐💧
According to the City of Bend Utility Department, landscape irrigation increases their water production five times the regular amount. That's an increase from 5 million gallons of water per day, to 26 million gallons of water per day. 🤯💦
😱 That's a serious amount of clean drinking water, just to keep our landscapes lush! Especially in the face of a drought. 🥀
But the good news is, there are many steps we can take to ensure we are utilizing this precious resource as mindfully as possible. 💧
Follow along with us as we explore the options over the next couple of weeks! We're here to partner with you in the mindful use of our amazing Central Oregon water. 🤙🏽💦
