CBMWD's Landscape Evaluation

This week Acting Police Chief Keith Jones, Deputy Police Chief Chris Weiske, and Public Works Superintendent Mario Orioli met with Chino Basin Water Conservation District staff to review the results of CBMWD's Landscape Evaluation Audit of the new Police facility.

As part of this free audits, CBMWD evaluated the overall efficiency of the landscape irrigation system and presented recommendations to lower water usage and promote a healthier landscape. 

Two major recommendations in the audit included installing a weatherbased irrigation controller and replacing high-volume sprinkler heads to new, low-flow heads.

City staff has already been researching the market for weather-based irrigation controllers for use in City-owned facilities landscaping, as well as rebates that may be offered with the purchase of the recommended heads and controllers.
