SCV Water Offers Free Drought Ready Home Check-Ups

SCV Water is now offering Drought Ready Home Check-ups to customers to help them prepare for another multi-year drought. These check-ups will focus on outdoor water use and are designed to detect leaks, identify opportunities to increase irrigation performance, and to provide tips and tools to help customers save water.
“SCV Water is excited to offer our residential customers a ‘drought-ready’ program to help them prepare for continued and intensifying drought conditions,” said Matthew Dickens, sustainability manager. “With this program, they’ll receive a Drought Ready Kit with water-saving devices. And most importantly, they’ll learn how to reduce water waste and increase irrigation efficiencies.”

WaterWise Consulting, Inc. conducts the in-person check-ups focusing on outdoor areas of the home (i.e. landscaped areas, garage and/or porch). The service takes about one hour to complete and will include leak detection and a complete evaluation of your irrigation system.
At the beginning of the scheduled service customers will receive a Water Efficiency Kit, which includes materials needed for the check-up such as leak detection supplies, high-efficiency water-saving devices, a shower timer, push broom and soil moisture meter.
This service is offered to residential customers at no additional cost.
