First launched by the Irrigation Association in July 2005, Smart Irrigation Month aims to increase consumer awareness and grow demand for water-saving products, practices and services.

Ways Contractors Can Get Involved:

• Hand out Smart Irrigation Month bumper stickers, available for purchase at irrigation.org.

 

• Promote water-efficient products that qualify for rebates from your local water authority.


• Add the Smart Irrigation Month logo to your email signature.


• Take a #SmartSelfie and share it on social media – the one with the most likes on the IA Facebook page by the end of the month will get a free Irrigation Show registration.


• Lobby your town to proclaim July as Smart Irrigation Month – a sample proclamation is available on irrigation.org. In fact, on June 21, Governor Mark Dayton proclaimed July as Smart Irrigation Month throughout the state of Minnesota.


• Watch for infographics posted on social media and the "Tip of the Month," posted throughout the year.
