Water agencies throughout California are challenged by the state's 20 x 2020 initiative and SBx7-7 to reduce per capita water consumption 20% by the year 2020. In an effort to share best practices, educate influential decision-makers and recognize interim successes, The Toro Company is proud to host its 7th annual “Success Without Excess” Water Symposium. Held at Toro’s Irrigation Headquarters in Riverside, California, the Symposium included a question-and-answer session with the developer of the award-winning www.FreeSprinklerNozzles.com campaign.
