💧 Stop spraying your water away.

🚫 High pressure can create a fine mist that blows away or evaporates before it ever reaches your grass. It can also wear out sprinkler heads faster and increase the risk of leaks and breaks.

🚫 Low pressure can leave sprinkler heads struggling to pop up fully, leading to uneven coverage and dry, brown spots in your yard.

The good news? A sprinkler evaluation can help identify pressure issues and improve your system’s efficiency. Find out if you qualify for a free Slow the Flow sprinkler evaluation at https://resourcecentral.org/sprinklers/residential/. 🌱

🌿 Removing your lawn this later summer? That's a fantastic time for waterwise planting!

Late summer is a great time to plant a waterwise garden in Colorado. Warm soil and cooler temperatures help plants settle in with less stress and often less watering, giving your landscape a strong start before winter. 💧

On our blog, we cover why late summer deserves a little more love for planting season. 🌸 Read more at https://resourcecentral.org/late-summer-planting/ 🔗

💧 Water conservation starts with understanding how your sprinkler system works.

During a free Slow the Flow sprinkler evaluation, our technicians take the time to walk participants through their irrigation system zone by zone, helping identify where water may be wasted and how to water more efficiently. 🌱

From sprinkler performance checks to personalized watering schedules, every appointment is designed to help homeowners reduce outdoor water use.

Small irrigation changes can lead to meaningful water savings throughout the season. Ready to make every drop count? Learn more at https://resourcecentral.org/sprinklers/residential/ 🔗
