Neighbors,
I would like to highlight the first item in particular - if you want to
understand the role of zoning in Albuquerque and the decision and appeals
processes associated with it, attend one of the workshops. There are three
dates, but the content is the same so just sign up for one; and you do have
to RSVP.
Greg
ps If you were at our outreach event at Yanni's last week, this is the
Civic Leadership workshop our speakers told us about.

*Tips for Summer Watering*
The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) reminds
everyone about summer watering and offers tips on how to irrigate our
yards, trees, and flowers:
· Follow the “Water by the Numbers” program and water your turf and
plants just three times per week in summer months. Trees appreciate a deep
watering every two to three weeks during the summer.
· If it rains, count that as one of your watering days and shut off
automatic sprinkler systems when it rains. You can also install a Smart
Irrigation Controller.
· Do not water or use your sprinkler between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Water early in the morning or in the later evening to reduce water loss to
wind and evaporation.
· Troubleshoot your sprinkler system for leaks, broken heads and
emitters, and poorly angled/aimed heads. A broken sprinkler head can waste
as much as 16 gallons of water per minute – and irrigation water should
never end up in the street or on others’ property.
· Consider replacing thirsty turf with xeriscaping. There are
hundreds of regionally adapted plants, trees and shrubs that can fill your
yard with color while saving you money on water.

water conservation programs and how you can conserve this resource!
