Water Authority to Sponsor Conservation Seminar

Mark Shively, President of the Douglas County Water Resource Authority announced that the Authority is sponsoring three regional seminars on how HOAs can conserve water and save money. The DCWRA hosted one such meeting last year with great success. The dates for the three programs this year are March 7, 11, and 19.

The seminars will focus on the best landscape management practices, state of the art ET controllers, and Xeriscape techniques. There will also be an in-depth discussion of the most economic practices for common area irrigation. Three regional water conservation experts from Highlands Ranch, Parker, and Castle Rock will lead the discussions.

This program is tailored to HOA board members, their management firms, and landscape contractors. The goal is to facilitate an understanding of effective HOA common area management between the managers, board members and contractors who often disagree on which practices are best.
