Free irrigation assessments for Aspen water customers
Assessments detect overwatering and optimize water conservation
Aspen, CO – The city of Aspen is offering free irrigation assessments this summer to help Aspen water customers optimize their sprinkler systems, conserve water, and potentially lower their water bill. A team of certified water-efficient landscapers contracted by the city will visit properties and conduct comprehensive assessments of irrigation systems. This includes evaluating sprinkler heads for optimal settings, identifying repair needs, and pinpointing opportunities to improve overall efficiency.
The city of Aspen supports the community’s efficient use of water by offering these free irrigation assessments to interested Aspen water customers. Sign-ups are now open with appointments available on June 3, July 1, and August 6.
Participants will receive a customized report of their current irrigation system with recommended improvements. The city is offering 50% rebates up to $2,500 for water customers that make these improvements applied as credit to their water bill. Optimized irrigation systems help conserve water, reduce water bill costs, and promote a healthier landscape.
“We are excited to offer this program again this summer,” says Caroline Moore, city of Aspen sustainability programs analyst. “We encourage all water customers to take advantage of this free assessment and be part of the solution for a more sustainable summer. Even minor adjustments to existing irrigation systems can make a significant difference."
By participating in this free service, Aspen water customers can identify their irrigation inefficiencies and help reduce unnecessary outdoor water use, benefiting the entire community’s shared water supply.
