The Davis School District trimmed water use by 60% in 2021 by installing drought-tolerant lawns and landscaping with customized irrigation. This year, the school district intends to take the lessons learned last year and apply them at nearly 100 district properties with the aim of halving outdoor water use.
The district uses a drought-tolerant lawn of Kentucky 31 that uses less water and only needs to be cut once a year. A new irrigation “smart clock system” would connect with weather stations and delay irrigation if rain falls.
