Water Use Workshops for High Water Needs
Although there has been a big push to provide conservation information to the general public and homeowners, there has been less assistance for larger water organizations. The workshops are intended to target facilities and maintenance managers of large institutional water users.
When adjustments are made to increase the overall efficiency of a landscape, there is a potential for up to 50 percent water reduction. These workshops also offer hands-on training and direct instruction from a Utah State University horticulture professor to get them by until major changes can be made.
The workshop is held every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.. The remaining workshops will be held Sept. 5 at the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District; 2837 East Highway 193, Layton; and Sept. 10 Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District; 8215 South 1300 West, West Jordan.
For more information about the workshops contact Lori Johnson at (435) 797-2255. Registration must be recieved one week in advance and space is limited.
