Project Overview

We worked with the local municipalities in California where key sites are located such as Palo Alto and Roseville in order to understand the severity of the drought situation and local community priorities and needs. We developed our site-specific response plans incorporating local input and local incentives such as rebates for conservation projects.

We worked with the local municipalities in California where key sites are located such as Palo Alto and Roseville in order to understand the severity of the drought situation and local community priorities and needs. We developed our site-specific response plans incorporating local input and local incentives such as rebates for conservation projects. For example, in order to meet our reduction targets in California, we quickly made improvements to our landscape and irrigation practices. We updated irrigation equipment at our Roseville site, and watering times were significantly reduced. Some landscaping was damaged due to the reduction in watering but the overall impact was minimal. We took advantage of local incentives and replaced the turf at one of our Palo Alto locations with native drought-tolerant plants.
