Annual Water Use Table - Irrigation Plan#

Instructions

  1. Irrigated areas for each zone should be a "best estimate," splitting areas between zones as necessary. For drip irrigation, the irrigated area should estimate the area actually wetted by the emitters.
  2. Determine the average annual water use (in gallons per square foot) by referring to the hydrozones listed on the Water Use Table on the landscape plan.
  3. Determine the annual total water use (in gallons) by multiplying the irrigated area (in square feet) by the average gallons per square foot for that zone.
  4. Divide the total water use by the irrigated area to determine overall gallons per square foot (not to exceed 15 gal./s.f.).

Did You Know?

There are more than 500 miles of water mains throughout Fort Collins.

Setting your refrigerator to recommended 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit and freezer to 0 degrees Fahrenheit helps save energy.

In warm seasons at night (when temperatures are cooler), open windows when you feel comfortable doing so (i.e. in calm weather condition, with a window stopper in place, during clean air days, etc).
