Summer time has rolled into Middle Georgia and so have the temperatures. Our area is currently in a deficit of over 5” of rainfall. The weather man said this morning that there is not going to be a change in the near future. If you have lived in Georgia for a while, you know no rain equals water bans. They have not issued any mandatory water bans at this point, but I do think they will be coming.

Paulk Landscaping offers a new service called Smart Water Irrigation System A.K.A. SWIS. This new service allows the customer to upgrade their irrigation system to make sure you are not wasting valuable resources. Our new service will update your current system and allow you to save water and money. We installed this very system on a customer yard in Macon in April 2010 and collected the following data.

This is the average water usage based on a three year time frame. This customer saved 315 gallons of water in just one year. With some minor adjustments to the system our customer was able to save enough water to pay for the upgrade.
