Efficient Irrigation Homeowner Workshops
A properly installed and maintained irrigation system will help keep water in our reservoir and money in your wallet. To help understand the basics of irrigation, the CRD Environmental Protection Division, in partnership with the Irrigation Industry Association of BC, offers free introductory irrigation workshops to homeowners in the Capital Region connected to the Sooke Lake Reservoir water supply.
Fall Irrigation System Maintenance

This workshop will cover an introduction to winterization techniques, including how to review your system and look for leaks, when to call a contractor and what to ask for. This workshop is intended for existing systems, although can be useful if you are planning a new system, as initial installation can have long-term effects on maintenance, scheduling and water costs.
