Did you know? Utah is the second driest state in the nation based on annual precipitation, yet among the top in per capita users of water. Additionally, urban landscape irrigation accounts for as much as 65% of the annual municipal water use, and much of it is applied in excess of the plant’s needs.

According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, 99% of Utah is in severe drought, and there are already water restrictions in place in some areas of the state.
Fact: 60% of residential water use is used for outdoor irrigation. Eliminating just one watering can save about 3,000 gallons for the average quarter-acre Utah yard with .17 acres of green space. Please look for ways to water efficiently and slow the flow.
