Free Water Use Evaluation
Save Water. Save Money.
What Does the Water Use Evaluation Involve?
A professional trained in landscape and home water use systems will show you where the shutoff valves are to your home and landscape, and will explain the steps you would take to determine if there is a leak on your property using the “leak detector” on your water meter.
There is also an indoor component to the evaluation that is available to determine what steps can be taken to use water efficiently indoors. The water pressure at your home will also be evaluated when possible.
Because outdoor water use often represents up to 70 percent of all customer water use, the majority of the site visit consists of evaluating the performance of your irrigation system. The evaluator will show you how to inspect your system for leaks or breaks, and will evaluate your controller schedule to determine if the schedule is appropriate for the type of plant material being irrigated, the type of irrigation equipment used, and the time of year. This is not a specific leak detection service and there may not be time to evaluate all irrigation stations. Sample irrigation schedules are provided as a guideline and planting recommendations can also be made as requested or appropriate.
How do I Schedule an Evaluation?
Contact Roesink Consulting at 760- 237-0051 or send them an email.
Are There Any Hidden Charges Involved?
All aspects of this service are free. No sales solicitations will be made by the evaluators.
How Long Does an Evaluation Take?
Evaluations typically take one hour or less. Sites over an acre may qualify for a more extensive visit.
Am I Required to Make Any of the Changes Recommended?
The evaluators will provide written recommendations to improve the efficiency of your water use, but you are not required to implement any recommendations. Many water-saving recommendations involve adjustments to equipment and schedules that customers can perform themselves at no cost.
Note: Sites are entitled to one free evaluation every three years.
