Free Smart Controller to Reduce Water Use

Los Angeles-area residents and businesses use up to 70% of their daily water use watering yards and landscapes. ?EUR??,,????'?????<

The free controllers are offered through West Basin’s Ocean-Friendly landscape program that aims to reduce outdoor water use, as well as prevent runoff from polluting our local beaches and oceans. By participating in the large landscape controller program, residents are helping their landscapes to become healthier and more water efficient, along with protecting the local ocean environment from pollution caused by runoff.

The controller comes with a free landscape audit, free installation and programming. The entire controller program value to residents is $1,350. The program requires that the property be located within West Basin Municipal Water District’s service area, that the property be irrigated with potable water, and the landscape be at least 1-acre in size. Add to that, the savings from using less water, and residents could save up to $4,000 over the lifetime of the device.

The property can be a private residence, school, college or university, homeowner’s association, business, ballfield, etc. Examples of current program participants include Marymount College on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, The Pointe at Malibu, and Carson Senior High School, among others. One smart controller on one acre of property can save more than 100,000 gallons of water a year. Please note that some larger properties may qualify for more than one controller and the water savings could be even greater.
