Since 1986, we have actively encouraged Residential Farmers (our Contra Costa clients and all other newsletter recipients to follow, to learn from, to test out, and participate in our Water Management Program. During the drought years we were challenged by the idea of keeping our lawns and landscapes alive and thriving while water supplies were being severely limited. There was an urgent need to teach you how to water your yard properly, while at the same time, keeping your water bill as low as possible.
We received 100 responses from the 300 questionnaires that we sent out to you last October. It tells us that a third of you choose to pay attention and get involved. So go ahead and pat yourself on the back-THGWMP only works because of you. It is you who decides to set your irrigation clock according to our prescribed schedule. Let me thank you all for participating. You have made an important effort in your community to save water. As you know, there is always enough water to use but never enough to waste.
