Featured speakers will include Frank Kinder from Northern Water in Colorado, who will introduce the water district’s water-wise landscape programs, and Mike Kocsis from Fairway Ridge Homeowner’s Association (HOA), who will talk about how they used a grant from Northern Water to transform part of their community’s common landscapes from water-intensive turf into water-efficient gardens. Mr. Kocsis will also discuss how his HOA works with their landscape contractor and manages their irrigation system to save water and utility costs year over year.

Speaker:

  *   Kersey Manliclic, U.S. EPA WaterSense program
  *   Sarah LaVoy, U.S. EPA WaterSense program
  *   Frank Kinder, Northern Water
  *   Mike Kocsis, Fairway Ridge HOA
