A residential water survey consists of having a well-trained and experienced surveyor visit a residence to review landscape and irrigation conditions in addition to evaluating indoor water use. The surveyor will then inform to the homeowner about the inefficiencies in their indoor and outdoor water use and provide information for making their overall water use more efficient. The surveyor will communicate major problems to the homeowner during the evaluation and deliver a full report to them within two weeks of the site visit. Surveyors may also hand out local water agency information to promote efficient water use.
