For many HOAs, landscape irrigation currently accounts for 90 percent or more of all the water used at their properties. Combined with increasing cost of water and knowing as much as 50 percent of water use outdoors is wasted due to inefficient irrigation methods and systems, planning, and investing in water conservation can have a huge payoff for an HOA.

Please join us for this live online panel session to hear special guest speakers representing two of the largest HOA planned communities in the Western US – Sun City Grand in Surprise, Arizona and Rossmoor in Walnut Creek, California – talk about their success in reducing outdoor water consumption that led to an immediate reduction in water bills.

Conserving water is good for the planet, communities, and an HOA’s bottom line – preserving its reserve funds. You’ll learn in this session strategies for saving water and money on landscape irrigation while improving property value.
