WILL WE HAVE A DROUGHT?

Since March 1st we have had only 1.6” of rain, making it the driest start to spring on record. The dry spell should last through the week but rain is forecasted for the weekend and into next week. However, long range forecasts are indicating a drier than normal summer. Forecasts are not always correct but drier than normal means higher irrigation need than normal which could run water costs up. Water Rates are rising faster than inflation so the combination is costly. Water conservation is a major focus of ours as we want to help our customers control costs and not let water costs steal important resources from other property maintenance or enhancement projects.

Water Conservation Plans Help You Save Money
There are significant opportunities for irrigation system upgrades and modifications as well as landscape modifications that will reduce irrigation water need while improving the appearance and long-term health of the landscape.
However, each site and client is different and the appropriate upgrades or modifications can vary. To help assist in the recommendation of the highest value projects to consider, Pacific Landscape Management has established a Water Conservation Department and trained our staff on water conservation services. This department has developed a Water Conservation Evaluation that we are offering to develop plans to evaluate sites to help conserve water consumption and save our customers operational dollars. We hope you will approve a Water Conservation Plan as proposed for this summer so we can help you save water and money.
