Smart Watering
Make a difference
Smart watering promotes a healthier environment for all of us. By helping to keep plants healthier, wise watering practices may decrease the need for pesticide use. Smart watering may also lessen fertilizer and pesticide runoff from landscapes into streams and lakes, where it can affect birds, fish and their food sources. Finally, smart watering conserves water so it can benefit people, plants, fish and other wildlife- and so you use less water during summer months when the rates are higher.
