City Council Message
from Jared R. Taylor
June 2014
l s there anything I can do to be water wise as a resident,
property, o r b usiness owner in Kaysville?
Yes. Here are a few ideas:
It's finally my favorite time of year. The warm
air is upon us, yards and gardens are blooming
and the beautiful residences and businesses are
on display. As a C.Ouncil Member, I get a
front row seat to see all of the wonderful
things happening and work with so many great
people to make Kaysville Utah's Hometown!
One of my favorite assignments is working
with a group of volunteers on the Yard and
Garden Gvic C.Ommittee. They are responsible for helping beautify the Gty, recognizing outstanding yards, creating our community garden, and helping identify ways to be more efficient in water use.
•
DO NOT water during the hottest part of the day. Water
after 6 p.m. and before 10 a.m. The School District has an
exception to this. They water during the day to avoid negatively impacting the water pressure for all other users on the secondary systems.
•
Water outdoors only when needed. For example, watch the
weather and tum off your water when rain is expected, when it
is raining, or when it has just rained.
•
Use drip irrigation in your garden (visit the Kaysville community garden east of Gty Hall to learn more about drip irrigation
and gardening with }'Our neighbors).
With the summer months upon us, V."e all have our secondary
water systems running and using great amounts of water. Did you
know that Kaysville is served by three different entities that pn:r
vide secondary water for our use? We all have many questions
about being more water wise. A sub-committee of the YGO:,
chaired by Kaysville resident Blake Walker, has worked to identify
a FAQ which is presented below:
•
Get a free water check. The WBWCD will come to }'Our residence, business, or property and measure the amount of water
}'Our sprinkler system distributes, identify your soil type to
determine actual water needs, and advise }'OU on how to use
this infonnation to set }'Our water time schedule.
•
Add a smart timer to }'Our water system. Smart timers use a
soil probe on your property to deteremine when }'Our system
needs to run. The WBWCD is offering a 50% rebate to all
Kaysville residences, property, and business owners for approved timer purchases this ~·
•
Add an Evapotranspiration (El) C.Ontroller to your existing
S)'Stem. These systems use local weather station data to automatically determine when to run }'Our system.
Sh ould we be wise with our secondary water u sage?
Yes. Water is a scarce resource and with the population in our
area expected to double by 2050, demand will be increasing. Reducing our water usage now will help reduce future project costs
required to capture and deliver water from other areas.
M c we using more secondary water than we need n ow?
Yes. Based on an extensive study by the Weber Basin Water C.Onservancy District {WBWCD), the average unmetered yard uses
220% of the water actually needed. Actual need is calculated using
evapotranspiration data. Did }'OU know that Kaysville already uses
this data to manage watering schedules for public buildings and
Gty parks? It is one way Kaysville ensures that those areas are
watered only when needed and for only the needed amount of
rime. We also have the ability to manually override the system and
use even less water when water shonages arise.
Members of the Yard and Garden Gvic C.Omminee will continue
to work with the Gty to identify water wise opportunities. Please
contact YGCC chair Ron Zollinger at rz.ollinger@kaysvillecity.com
with }'Our ideas or suggestions. Oieck out the YGCC website
(kaysvilleyards.com) and learn more about the great things this
committee is doing.
