City's Water Conservation Efforts are On-going
|
 Recognizing years ago that water is a limited resource and a major utility expense for irrigating parks and landscape, the City of Oakley began efforts to install wells, when possible and practical, at their parks when they are developed.
Nationally, 60-70% of water consumed in the summer is for landscape irrigation. The City, wishing to be proactive, and with no desire to be labeled a "water hog," planned and has been implementing the use of non-potable well water for irrigation, which greatly saves on the potable use consumption. Additionally, the City is now using a sophisticated irrigation central control system to save even more water.
