Thanks to a nearly $70,000 grant from the
United States Bureau of Reclamation’s (USBR) WaterSmart program,
EMWD is now offering FREE residential drip retrofit kits for qualifying customers to help convert landscape irrigation areas from spray to drip irrigation.
Each drip kit is valued at approximately $245 and includes pressure regulators, drip tubing, connectors and emitters.
The kit provides enough material to convert between 250-400 square feet of planter beds to highly-efficient drip irrigation, which can save up to 60 percent of water per station when compared to traditional spray irrigation.
New guidelines for the program allow for up to two kits per customer, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
