Resident Water Champion - Kate

Kate was able to use the Garden Tune Up rebate to help with her watering schedule and has saved $650 off her annual water bill!  "It is so important to turn off your irrigation system come the wet season and use our natural resources in this tropical lifestyle. But when it comes to turning your irrigation system back on, a simple job can seem so daunting", says Kate. 

Wanting to keep her garden lush, but not wanting to over-water, with the help of the Garden Tune Up rebate and Jack from Water Dynamics, Kate was able to have her irrigation system adjusted to be more water efficient by giving the plants the water they need when they actually needed it. "When the irrigator came to adjust our system it was set for every day and we found that we were watering some areas in the garden for too long, and in other areas not long enough."
