  According to Park City Municipal, 70-percent of this towns daily water use In the summer goes to irrigating landscapes – most notably Kentucky Blue Grass.  Chris and Nell have some amazing figures to share regarding how much water we use and what that costs – to both the homeowner and the water treatment plant.

Then in the second half of the program, Chris and Nell turn their attention to some ways we can reduce that water consumption. Recycle Utahs annual native plant sale is comin gup on Saturday, June 11th.  Linda Karz has helped set up and run the even for a number of years .  She  talks about what is a native plant and surprisingly what is not.
