Water Resources offering free shut-off hose nozzles, information on water-wise habits

SAVANNAH – In celebration of Smart Irrigation Month, the City of Savannah’s Water Resources Department is encouraging water-wise habits by providing information to the public and offering automatic shut-off hose nozzles in a free giveaway.

Smart Irrigation Month is an Irrigation Association initiative to promote awareness about the benefits of efficient irrigation technologies and practices. The campaign encourages residents to use water wisely, highlighting the social, economic, and environmental advantages of smart irrigation.

City of Savannah Water customers will have multiple opportunities to pick up a free shut-off hose nozzle. In coordination with the Office of Management and Budget, Water Resources will give away free nozzles at the July 12 Savannah Speak Out Budget event. Additionally, beginning on July 15, nozzles can be picked up at neighborhood community centers while supplies last.
