Water Conservation Programs Available for Firestone Residents!

Garden in a Box & Slow the Flow Irrigation Audit Programs

Earlier this year, the Firestone Board of Trustees approved two programs for Firestone residents to participate in, with Resource Central – Garden in a Box and a Slow the Flow Irrigation Audit Program. Resource Central is an environmental nonprofit based out of Boulder that focuses on making conservation easy with affordable and measurable programs.

The Garden in a Box program offers Firestone residents pre-assembled kits with various low-water plants and helpful tips about water-wise gardening at a discounted price. The program will allow 25 residents a $25 discount to purchase a garden in a box from six pre-designed gardens with various low-water plants ranging from $99 to $320 per box. The Fall Garden Boxes are available now for purchase and will be available for pick-up and planting in late August. View available gardens here.

The Slow the Flow Irrigation Audit program allows Firestone residents to request an irrigation system audit to evaluate the efficiency of their system and receive an Audit Report with best management practices. The program will allow 35 residents to participate in an irrigation system audit at no cost to the residents. Register for an audit here.
