Free Water-Efficiency Consultations
Identify Problems, Improve Efficiency, And Irrigate Intelligently
Our industry-certified expert Chino Basin Water Conservation District staff will meet you or your landscaper at your qualifying property to run and thoroughly inspect your irrigation system, and to collect data on your timer settings, soil, plant materials, and other site factors.
Our expert staff will then issue you a report with repair and efficiency recommendations, a custom water-use target, a custom watering schedule with timer-setting recommendations for each area of the site, and information about available water-efficiency rebates and programs.
With the report, you can create a plan and budget for repairs or upgrades, as needed. You may want to create a prioritized list of immediate items and future upgrades for when your budget permits. Ensure irrigation timers are reprogrammed if not programmed correctly.
Over time, breaks or other issues happen, so make sure the contractors check irrigation systems regularly. At HOAs, encourage community members to report issues such as leaks or sprinkler overspray onto the pavement, and create an organized system to share information with the landscape contractor.
Our report will create a landscape water-use target for the site. Be sure to know which of your meters controls the landscaping, and for sites with dedicated landscaping meters, use the water-use target to check against the water use on your bill to ensure that the site is not being overwatered.
