Water <br /> Smart <br /> EFFICIENT IRRIGATION <br /> The key to efficient irrigation is <br /> to apply only the amount of water a <br /> landscape needs. A properly installed <br /> and correctly programmed irrigation <br /> system will ensure shrubs, trees and <br /> groundcovers receive adequate water <br /> on a regular schedule. Remember to <br /> water deeply, but less often and <br /> winterize irrigation systems. <br /> WATER SMART <br /> IRRIGATION INCLUDES <br /> • Plants irrigated in zones based on similar water <br /> needs <br /> • * Automatic controller allowing each zone to be <br /> watered on a schedule that can be adjusted for <br /> plant needs and season <br /> • Backflow prevention device installed per city code <br /> • Frequent checks for clogged emitters.leaks, <br /> broken sprinkler heads,and overspray onto walks <br /> and drives <br /> • Annual irrigation consultation by a certified <br /> auditor <br /> BASIC IRRIGATION <br /> GUIDELINES <br /> • Do not combine spray irrigation with drip <br /> irrigation on the same zone. <br /> • Mulch soil surface to reduce evaporation. <br /> • <br /> Y k • Irrigate established trees and large shrubs at <br /> the drip line to encourage a healthy root <br /> system.Extend/expand irrigation system as <br /> plants grow. <br /> • Avoid mid-day irrigation. -* <br /> • Make use of automatic control systems, <br /> • Ensure irrigation system is appropriate for plant <br /> type (e.g.,drip vs.spray). <br /> www.cityofpresc tt.rtetls rvitesiw teritonserVattnr,iphp <br />
