1 The Silence of the Sprinklers April 13, 2017 Water Conservation Update Reduce Outdoor Water Use
2 Current California Drought Conditions
3 California Rainfall
4 Conservation Update City of Davis water production was 22.7% less in 2016 than in 2013 Despite recent rains, Davis water users have continued to conserve Governor lifted the Drought Emergency water restrictions remain in place Long-term water use efficiency regulations were just released by the state Weather patterns may change with dry and wet years but the City is committed to looking at longterm efficiency
5 Water Use Reductions
6 Water Meter Upgrade Project Water meter replacement, automation and hourly water reads. Shift to a new water use portal where hourly water usage will be available to City water customers.
7 Ways to Silence Your Sprinklers Irrigation Modifications Adjust Sprinklers Install a weather-based irrigation controller/rain sensor Convert to drip Convert Your Landscape Turf removal Plant choices and resources Greywater Systems Overview Types of Systems Rainwater Retention Landscape features Rain barrels and cisterns
8 Irrigation Modifications Adjust your sprinklers Install a weather-based irrigation controller/rain sensor Convert to drip
9 Adjust Your Sprinklers Turn on your system in the spring Check for broken heads and lines Look for run-off and overspray Adjust sprinklers to avoid run-off Pick-up a free sprinkler screwdriver from the City Adjust your timer Modify your timer at least seasonally Turn off during periods of rain
10 Install a Smart Controller Install a Weather-Based Irrigation Controller (WBIC) Adjusts irrigation based on current weather conditions Look for the WaterSense label Install a rain sensor Turns off the irrigation system when rainfall is received Turns system back on when dry
11 Convert to Drip Advantages: More efficient water use if used properly Minimize evaporation Promotes a good soil/water environment Disadvantages: Emitters may clog Not as easy to see when not working properly Can be damaged by animals, insects and humans
12 Types of Drip Soaker hose - many tiny openings throughout the hose where water seeps out Relatively cheap, easy to move, is flexible to circle around trees Uses water where no plants are located Polyethylene (Poly) tubing usually ½ or larger diameter and carries water to distribution points by emitters Inexpensive and allows flexibility in locating emitters and types of emitters Can be a tripping hazard, more fragile than other lines with inline emitters, can be chewed through by animals
13 More Types of Drip Drip Tape relatively thin-walled, flat polyethylene tube that expands under water pressure. Emitters built into tape at a fixed distance. Relatively inexpensive and can be pressure compensating Can be fragile and susceptible to damage Inline emitters emitters built into the poly tubing. Pressure compensating, sturdy construction May be more expensive and is a relatively fixed structure

15 Convert Your Landscape Turf Removal Plant Choices and Resources
16 Turf Removal Options include Solarization Sheet mulching Physical removal Focus on Sheet Mulching Cut the lawn down Dig a moat around the hardscape to keep materials on site Cover with cardboard, overlapping edges Water it down Add 2-3 of compost Add 4-6 of mulch
17 Timing for Turf Removal Removing lawn in spring is ideal Leave all summer, may need to water occasionally Plant in fall when rain supports plant growth *View turf removal presentations at SaveDavisWater.org
18 Plant Choices Choose plants appropriate to your soil and micro-climate Watch spacing - plan for mature plant size Choose low-water plants Consider other benefits like pollinators Low-water plants still need regular water during establishment

21 Greywater Systems Overview Types of Systems
22 Overview What is greywater? Untreated waste water that has not been contaminated Includes but is not limited to wastewater from bathtubs, showers, bathroom sinks and clothes washers Does not include wastewater from kitchen sinks or dishwashers
23 Types of Systems Laundry to Landscape No permit typically required Some limitations No spray irrigation No ponding Exterior use only Sub-soil irrigation Branched Drain (other sources besides the washing machine) Pumped Systems (temporary storage tank) Dual Drainage Plumbing (typically seen in new construction or remodel) Sand filter to drip irrigation * View the greywater presentation at SaveDavisWater.org
24 Rainwater Retention Overview Landscape Features Rain barrels and Cisterns
25 Overview Benefits include Conserving water Improving water quality going into storm drains Provides habitat for plants, animals and insects Direct rain water Away from impervious pavement From downspouts to rain barrels/cisterns or landscaping Use landscape contours to direct and retain rainwater
26 Landscape Features Swales Vegetated landscaped depressions Can absorb pollutants and infiltrate runoff Dry creek beds Stone-lined channels Promotes infiltration and conveys water Rain gardens Shallow vegetated basins Collect, retain and infiltrate runoff Pervious paving Allows rainwater to infiltrate back into the soil Reduce and infiltrate runoff
27
28 Rain barrels & Cisterns Capture rainwater to improve quality and store for dry months In winter, water captured could be used for indoor plants Hold between 40 to 75 gallons of water Need to have a screen to keep debris and mosquitoes out Cisterns are larger scale systems
