SUMMARY:Rainwater Harvesting Lunch 'n' Learn
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Austin Water has programs that incentivize rainwater harvesting? Collecting rainwater in a barrel or cistern is a great way to ensure your plants are getting the water they need between rain events. Allowing rainwater to infiltrate on your property by using a raingarden (or other methods that “slows the flow”) helps trees get the water they need through a drought.\n \n\nJoin us for a virtual lunch and learn session on April 4th at 12PM\, where Christopher Charles from Austin Water’s Conservation Division\, will discuss the Rainwater Harvesting and Rainscape Programs. We’ll guide you through the application process\, provide best practice info\, and answer commonly asked questions.

SUMMARY:Collecting Rain for your Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Austin Water has programs that incentivize the collection of rainwater? Collecting rainwater in a barrel or cistern is a great way to ensure your plants are getting the water they need between rain events. Allowing rainwater to infiltrate on your property by using a raingarden (or other methods that “slows the flow”) helps trees get the water they need through a drought.\n \n\nJoin us for a virtual lunch and learn session on November 16th at 12PM\, where Christopher Charles from Austin Water’s Conservation Division will discuss the Rainwater Harvesting and the WaterWise Rainscape Programs\, from guiding you through the application process to providing insight into commonly asked questions. Help lower your water usage during the ongoing drought by using the water that plants and trees prefer to stay healthy.

Pressure-regulating requirements for newly built irrigation systems \n2. Limitations on how much automatic irrigation can be installed on a property \n3. Requirements for Laundry to Landscape connections to be installed on new homes \n4. Requiring homebuilders to use a city plant list for their landscapes. \n\nWe will discuss required irrigation inspections and enforcement of the options moving forward.
