Valencia Water offers conservation helpers to first 250 respondents.

Valencia Water Company has announced the availability of new, state-of-the-art weather-based irrigation controllers free for the first 250 customers that have a minimum of 2,500 square feet of irrigated landscaping and that sign up and attend a free class on irrigation conservation and plant water relations.

Valencia Water Company is working with Valencia homeowners and the City of Santa Clarita's Landscape Maintenance District to improve residential water efficiency by providing educational information and the installation of 250 weather-based irrigation controllers.

 "Valencia Water Company has always been at the forefront of water conservation," said Bob DiPrimio, president of Valencia Water Company.  "Now we are embarking on an effort to work with our homeowners on individual irrigation conservation efforts.  I think Valencia homeowners will be pleased to learn that they will be able to easily save water which will result in financial savings as well."
