Residential Irrigation Audit and Timer-Resetting Program for $25 per customer

摘要

A residential irrigation “Contractor Visit Program” was initiated in 2003 in response to customer need for help with irrigation timers and other aspects of in-ground automatic irrigation systems. The majority of water customers in Volusia County, particularly homes built after the 1980s (which are half of the approximately 200,000 homes) have automatic irrigation systems. Customers concerned over high water bills, lack of good coverage in their lawns, or other problems with their irrigation system request the irrigation audits. The Water Authority of Volusia, a voluntary consortium of 14 member governments, 10 of which own medium or small utilities, has a limited water conservation budget and the need to develop inexpensive customer assistance programs.
