One of the components of the AMWUA Conservation Program is to educate non-residential sectors of the community, including multifamily housing and homeowners associations, about best water management practices.
A group of water conservation specialists from AMWUA member cities, known as the Water Management Education Committee, partners with non-residential groups to reach and educate multihousing property owners, managers, maintenance supervisors, and technicians.
What can the Water Management Education Committee do for you?
- Present workshops designed for maintenance staff, property managers, and property owners
- Contribute articles to trade magazines and newsletters
- Explore opportunities to work with homeowners associations
Workshops Offered:
- How to Enhance Your Landscape Investment
- Troubleshooting Your Landscape Irrigation System
- Control Your Landscape Costs
- Writing a Landscape Contract for Savings and Aesthetics
- Looking Indoors at Water Use and Costs
