Residents are watering more frequently in this extremely hot weather, and the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) encourages efficient irrigation techniques to help avoid water waste.
Inspect your irrigation system frequently and address maintenance issues right away
Set your irrigation timer to change with the seasons
Run your irrigation system in short cycles, allowing water to penetrate the soil between cycles to prevent surface run-off
Install check valves at low points in the system to prevent water from draining out between cycles
Use drip irrigation instead of spray heads outside of lawn areas
Do not mix sprinkler system components from different manufacturers

To help increase the Tree Canopy in our urban area, the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) offer “Treebates” to offset part of the cost of planting a new low or medium water usage tree. The “Treebate ‘can also be used to help cover the costs of tree maintenance. As our communities grow, we see the increase in streets, roof tops, and parking lots, etc. All these hard, paved surfaces cause “the heat island effect” warming our cities by as much as 10 degrees. Trees are a great natural tool to help mitigate the heat island effect, and keep our cities clean, beautiful, and healthy! Choose from our list of 20 beautiful trees to increase your tree canopy!
