Starting in February, those with automatic sprinkler systems can snag a free sprinkler test kit, as the utility aims to slash the excessive outdoor water usage that spikes to 60% during summertime. These kits, designed to measure watering efficiency across irrigation zones, serve as a tool for residents to adjust their sprinkler systems in line with the weekly watering guidelines available online, as mentioned in a recent Arlington announcement.
