Michael & Karlyn Hopkinson are SMART water users in the Timaru District
Why?
- Their garden contains a sprinkler system that covers the whole section, which is run off a pipe that has 12 taps diverting water and timers attached
- The plants receive water by drip irrigation
- Michael customises his water use depending on the size of the area- mini-sprinklers for planted areas and large sprinklers for the expansive lawn
- They take water use very seriously by being prepared and knowing where the water is going
