Conservation

IWA has developed a Conservation Plan in an effort to encourage responsible use of our finite resource, water.  We have a Special Edition of our quarterly newsletter, Pipeline, dedicated to educating our members about water conservation.  In addition, the following links provide resources and educational material aimed at allowing access to the most relevant information on responsible water use.

Mini-clik rain sensors for attaching to sprinkler systems (available at IWA for $20).  These devices will stop your irrigation system from watering your lawn during or after a significant rainfall. 

We also have water management gels that you mix with your soil; they can reduce the need for water by 50%.

Call us at 472-1502 or stop by our office for more information.
