Keep your irrigation system in good repair. Broken or misdirected sprinkler heads will waste a lot of water. The Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program is a public education and participation program that was started as an effort to restore our bays and estuaries. The program encourages individuals to change their landscapes to become more environmentally friendly. Model Florida Yard demonstration sites throughout the community show and explain proper water conservation and pollution control techniques, and how to get good results with your landscape.
