It’s a hot July morning in Tucson, and Diane notices that part of her lawn is dry and patchy while another area is turning into a muddy mess. She assumes it’s just the heat—until her water bill arrives and she sees a spike in usage. A quick inspection reveals broken sprinkler heads a leaky valve. It’s a common problem during our blistering summer—and a perfect reason why July is Smart Irrigation Month.

It started with a spike in the water bill. One Tucson homeowner, Diane, noticed soggy patches in the gravel and wilting lantana—despite watering daily. After weeks of frustration, she called Sonoran Oasis Landscaping to have their irrigation professional technician check it out.

Jeanine, a homeowner in Tucson recently noticed something off: parts of her desert landscape were turning brown, yet her monthly water bill had skyrocketed. The culprit? An outdated irrigation controller running during peak sun hours, combined with leaky drip lines. After replacing the controller with a smart one and repairing the system, she cut her water use by nearly 40%—and her plants bounced back beautifully.
