Yarrow Furthers Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
June 26, 2007 - Madras, OR - Yarrow, a new master-planned neighborhood situated in the rolling hills east of Madras, today announced that will require all homes and public areas inside the community to use WeatherTRAK "Smart" Irrigation Controllers. These water-saving controllers use satellite-based scheduling software and real-time weather forecast data to automatically adjust irrigation water application rates and times based on plant needs.
"Good stewardship of the land is important to us as a developer," said Cameron Craig, project manager for Yarrow. "We know that with the growth of this area comes a responsible to conserve and protect our natural resources."
Craig continued, "By requiring simple measures like WeatherTRAK we feel that we can reduce the impact on the environment as a whole. Our hope is that other developers will follow suit."
This new development-wide initiative joins Yarrow's requirement for all homes to be Earth Advantage-certified for energy efficiency, healthier indoor air and materials re-use.
Yarrow homesites, many with Cascade Mountain views, are now available starting at $77,000. Contact Yarrow Realty at 877-475-9779, or email us.
