DROUGHT: Free ‘WaterSmart’ workshop coming to Citrus Heights

A free water-efficient landscaping workshop will be held at the Citrus Heights Community Center on September 19, designed to help local homeowners and gardeners get “the best yard with the least water.”

According to an event flier, workshop topics will show how to properly position irrigation to ensure efficient watering, identify the right plants and best placement, and convert or upgrade sprinkler systems. There will also be additional information about tools and tips for irrigation scheduling.

The three-hour Saturday training will be from 9 a.m. to noon and is hosted by the City of Citrus Heights and EcoLandscape, along with three of the water districts serving the city. Registration is limited to Citrus Heights residents and customers of the Citrus Heights Water District, California American Water, and Sacramento Suburban Water District.

The deadline to register for the workshop is September 16 at 5 p.m. and will be limited to the first 70 participants to sign up, according to the City’s web page.
