As residents of Southern California, we know all too well the importance of water conservation, especially when it comes to our landscaping. Did you know that approximately 60% of residential water use in our region is applied to landscapes? And shockingly, half of that water is wasted due to over-watering and runoff from inefficient sprinkler systems.
That’s why the Otay Water District is a valuable resource for homeowners looking to use water more efficiently in their yards. The district offers a wealth of information and programs to help reduce water waste, including:
- Rebates and incentives for upgrading to water-efficient landscaping and irrigation systems
- Tips for monitoring your irrigation and optimizing your sprinklers
- Guidance on selecting the right plants and ground covers for a water-wise landscape
- Strategies for eliminating unused turf and minimizing water-intensive grass areas
- By partnering with the Otay Water District, you can do your part to conserve this precious resource and set an example for your community.
We encourage you to visit their website at www.otaywater.gov/water-savings-tips to learn more about their water efficiency programs and how you can get started.
Together, we can make a real difference in reducing water waste and ensuring a sustainable future for our region.
