The Moulton Niguel Water District is teaching people how to drought-proof their lawns, and has homeowners relaxing in a serene, environmentally-friendly space, while saving money.
This means outdoor watering in the city will be restricted to two days per week based on street addresses beginning June 1.
The water district's General Manager, Joone Kim Lopez, said those who use under budget help the dollars saved stay here through rebates and partnerships like those offered through the NatureScape Program. "We reinvest that money back into our community to be resilient and reliable because we know that with climate change the dryer spells are getting longer," Kim Lopez said."It's happening more frequently and we really have to have a sustainable approach to making sure that we're efficient.""We're restoring nature back to the way it was," Probolsky said."It's not just about the plants and the saving water, we're bringing animals back in.
Before homeowners get too deep into the program, they do have to sit through a free two-hour workshop to make sure they really want to commit through the entire process. Anyone interested in doing something like this can check with their local water district. A lot of them offer similar programs.
