Sprinkler System Tips:
The heat of the sum mer is upon us, and the plants in your landscape are depending on life support systems we know as irrigation. Our systems should run during early morning hours before sunrise to minimize evaporation. Learn how to check and be sure your system is working properly.
Did you know there are flood zones in Gilbert? Residents can purchase flood insurance on a federally backed mortgage if they live in a flood zone, thanks to a program Gilbert takes part in. Learn how it works.

Gilbert's latest Water Quality Report is now available online, and arriving at homes in the final print edition of Your Town. It demonstrates that we continue to meet and exceed water safety and quality standards.
The report also details where our water comes from, and how we ensure it remains safe to drink. The Town now has two water treatment plants, with the addition of the Santan Vista Water Treatment Plant.
Much of the water we use to drink,
bathe, wash our cars, water our lawns and swim in comes from rain and snowmelt that collects in
lakes and reservoirs north of our valley. We also receive water from the Colorado River through the Central Arizona Project canal system.
The report also offers ideas and information on how to conserve water and help us maintain our precious water supply into the future.
