Hunt Irrigation Offers Water-Saving Tips in Celebration of Smart Irrigation Month

Hunt Irrigation, Inc. (www.huntirrigation.com) is joining the city of Lincoln and the state of Nebraska in celebrating Smart Irrigation Month throughout July by helping their clients and fellow Nebraskans save water, save money, and see better results from their underground irrigation systems. Smart Irrigation Month is a public-awareness campaign to promote efficient outdoor water use. Focused in July—traditionally the month of peak outdoor water use—the campaign highlights simple practices and innovative technologies to:

  • Make the community aware of the efficiencies available for outdoor water use
  • Minimize overwatering while keeping lawns, gardens, and landscapes beautiful and healthy
  • Save money on utility bills
  • Help protect community water supplies for today and the future

Known as The Water Smart Company, Hunt Irrigation said many property owners and managers overwater, unintentionally wasting money every time they take out the hose or turn on the sprinkler. Hunt uses a variety of water-saving practices to drive results, including: their proprietary irrigation designs; helping customers plant and maintain low-water landscapes that will thrive in the climate; installing new irrigation systems that use controllers with real-time weather data, rain-climatic sensors to automatically adjust water output to meet plant needs; and using low-volume drip-irrigation to apply very small amounts of water to gardens, trees, and shrubs, thus minimizing evaporation and waste. The company also retrofits existing systems with rain sensors to prevent watering in rainy weather, and helps customers create custom programs for their automatic controllers to comply with watering restrictions.

Since Hunt Irrigation, Inc.’s inception in 1997, their proprietary irrigation designs and use of proven water-conservation technologies and BMPs have been able to conserve millions of gallons of water.
