Savings on Water Charges:
OUC charges you rates for your irrigation based on “irrigatable acreage”. If you have not provided them with the correct acreage of landscaped area, they will charge you for

the higher rates. Once we got our information corrected in their system, our monthly irrigation bills decreased by as much as 40% on some properties.

For example, if OUC has you in their system as a 1 acre sight but you actually are irrigating 5 acres, you are being charged way too much, because their system thinks you are

using too much water for that 1 acre. Ask your landscapers to tell you how many s.f. they are maintaining – they usually know it down to the exact s.f.!!

Also, OUC will perform an irrigation audit for your property and provide feedback on the current conditions (number of zones, the amount of time each zone runs, etc) and give

you guidance on zones that run too long or too often. This service was provided free of charge when we had it done in 2005.

Lastly, and most certainly the GREENEST, don’t forget to install and maintain those rain sensor gauges on your irrigation system. No reason to irrigate when it’s been raining 2” every day for the last month!!
