How To Save On The Water Bill By Saving Water!
A sprinkler system does not automatically save water. Leaks, poor coverage, and an outdated schedule can increase use. Start by finding where the water is going.
Check for avoidable waste
Watch the zones for broken heads, overspray, persistent puddles, and water running after shutdown. Record the location and the zone number before arranging a repair.
Put savings claims in context
The amount lost through a leak depends on its size, pressure, and how long it flows. A blanket claim of 4,000 gallons each month is not a measurement of your system. EPA WaterSense’s leak resources explain how to look for water loss.
A lower bill also depends on your water account and rate structure. Repairing a leak conserves water even when the billing arrangement does not produce a matching monthly dollar saving.
Check the schedule and available help
Provo residents can review the city’s water efficiency programs. For broader Utah irrigation resources, use USU’s Center for Water-Efficient Landscaping. Confirm current program availability and eligibility.
