Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Report. So this week I'm with Hillary Williams, who is with the Fort Worth Water Department to talk about water preservation and irrigation and Fort Worth's efforts to make it better. So Hillary, why are we having a class on irrigation? Fifty to seventy percent of additional irrigation and water use is on irrigation systems with landscape watering. So our main purpose of this event is to really address that issue and help people understand how to maintain and update their system so they're not wasting so much water on their irrigation systems throughout the summer. And we really decided to do this event so that we could help celebrate this smart irrigation month put on the irrigation by the irrigation association. So we'll have three hands-on stations that will demonstrate how they can properly maintain their system and also if they want to convert to drip irrigation which has really proven to save a lot of water with irrigation use on landscapes. And also to help explain how to use their controller box effectively and set their station times and run times. And this will hopefully help people save a lot of water and hopefully money throughout the summer as well. So we'll have and we'll also have an extra station that will just do basic water education and talk about conservation efforts and why this is important. We want to really help homeowners to know how their system works and what they can do to properly maintain and then also of course to save water in that same process. So when is the class? So the irrigation 101 event will be Saturday, July 21st. It will start at 8 a.m. and it will end at 11 a.m. They will be 20 minutes station and you can come and go as you please. So as the 20 minutes starts and you can watch your 20 minute station and then you can move on to the next one. So if you only want to see two out of the four or all four of this station you can pick and choose what's best for you. This event is going to be absolutely free to anyone that wants to participate but we are asking that you register online. That website is irrigation101.eventbrite.com. This event is a regional event so if you live in another city and you want to come you're more than welcome. We are partnering with Tairn Regional Water District in Texas AgriLife Extension and also the cities of Bedford, Arlington, Northridge and Hills and South Lake.
