Quick Tip: By using irrigation professionals who have partnered with WaterSense to perform regular maintenance and audits, homeowners with landscape irrigation systems can have the same beautiful yard while reducing their water use by 15 percent or about 9,000 gallons annually. That's equal to the amount of water that would flow from a garden hose non-stop for nearly a whole day.
