Tell me about the Million Gallon Challenge

 April 1st 2015  Wyatt will be launching a water conservation movement called the

Million Gallon Challenge

 

Our Goal is to help people conserve water, track the data and reach 1,000,000 of savings this growing season.  How will we do it?

 

  • Convert lawns from high use water to low use efficient landscapes
  • Share creative ideas on how to save water in the home and in the landscape
  • Promote graywater, use water twice, whenever we can 
  • Promote Laundry to Landscape, by diverting appropriate rinse water to the landscape rather than the sewer system.
  • Hold workshops on water conservation methods and Drip Irrigation options
  • Take feedback and share ideas from our supporters.
  • Work in cooperation and support our local municipal efforts for water conservation
  • Work with our business and cummunity partners to support their efforts in water conservation

So how do you benefit?

  • You save water
