| On July 6, the Board of Mesa County Commissioners declared July as Smart Irrigation Month in Mesa County. Katie Powell from Munroe Companies and Andrea Lopez from Ute Water accepted the proclamation. |
July is a peak month for the use of water for irrigation in which smart practices and technologies should be utilized for substantial water savings.
Smart Irrigation Month was established to increase public awareness of the value of water-use efficiency during summer’s peak demand.
Today, the Board of Mesa County Commissioners proclaimed July 2020, as Smart Irrigation Month in Mesa County.
The Board encourages the adoption of smart irrigation practices to improve water-use efficiency in agricultural, residential, and commercial activities because water is a finite resource that is vital to human life.
