WATER CONSERVATION PROJECTS HAVE GREAT ROI

WATER RATES ARE THE FASTEST GROWING UTILITY COST IN THE PUGET SOUND AREA!

Yes, the chart above is Seattle residential rates, but they are indicative of water districts and water rates in the Puget Sound region.


Pacific Landscape Maintenance has invested in evaluating and developing water conservation services for our customers. Listed below are services and products we offer to help conserve water and save your operational expenses.

 Weather-based Smart Irrigation Control 

Weathermatic SmartLink Weather-Based Irrigation adjusts your irrigation controller daily based on the weather, increasing and decreasing irrigation based on that weather data. This saves 20-30% of normal water use.

Pacific Landscape Management has been utilizing Weather Based Irrigation for over a decade. PLM is now a Weathermatic Premier Partner allowing us to offer their SmartLink Wireless Landscape Network Weather Base Irrigation Control as a subscription, saving our customers the previously required a capital expenditure. For a small increase in the monthly fee, you will avoid the capital installation cost. 


See this video for a brief outline of this new technology.

However, weather-based irrigation is just the first step in conserving water.  If the irrigation system has poor coverage, or if the landscape has changed as plants mature, adjustments to the system can be made to reduce water use and cost. 


That is why we have developed and are promoting our Water Conservation Plans.

Water Conservation Plans

We have developed a program for our customers - known as a Water Conservation Plan - which involves performing a detailed and thorough evaluation of the customer site and the irrigation system.


This evaluation identifies the appropriate irrigation modifications that need to be made in order to reduce water usage and save operational dollars. These modifications include:

  • Replacement of obsolete and failing components
  • Converting to drip irrigation and newer technologies
  • Adopting weather-based irrigation
  • Lawn-conversion for areas where it is impractical to effectively irrigate, regardless of the delivery system


See a video explaining the Water Conservation Plans that we provide to our customers.

PRESSURE REGULATION SAVES WATER & MONEY

Historically, most irrigation systems lack pressure-regulated sprinklers, which often leads to operating in an over-pressurized manner. Over-pressurization can cause water loss and contribute to uneven watering.


Pressure-regulating spray heads are a developing technology designed to regulate pressure to optimal performance. These spray heads include built-in regulators that maintain a more constant pressure for optimal nozzle performance.


WHY IS PRESSURE REGULATION IMPORTANT? 

Two reasons: Pressure regulation saves water and it is likely soon to be the law. 


WATER SAVINGS:

Compared with non-regulated sprinklers, pressure-regulated sprinklers will use about 20-25% less water


And, if the nozzle breaks, pressure regulators are estimated to save 70% of the water that might have been spilled if using an older sprinkler system!


These products, along with Pacific Landscape Maintenance services and capabilities, enable customers conserve water and save on operational expenses.
