Based on survey results, review of outdoor water management programs
implemented by other water utilities, and discussions with irrigation and turf
maintenance contractors, United Water Resources (Company) decided to pursue
two initiatives to try to dampen, and shift the peak water use pattern in the Franklin
Lakes system. First, the Company began to promote a voluntary three-day watering
cycle for all residential customers. This program was modeled after the program in
Denver, Colorado. Each address was assigned a one-in-three day water cycle
based on the last two digits of the customer's address; the Company developed a calendar
for the summer lawn watering season based on these cycles. This calendar
was included in a mailing that also included basic lawn watering and water conservation
tips. The second element of the program was lawn-watering audits, designed to educate
customers on proper lawn watering techniques and sprinkler system operation. Includes figure.
