PASADENA – Rebates on water-saving appliances and equipment are back on offer to Pasadena Water and Power customers this week in a program that was put on hold this summer because record demand used up all the available funds, officials said Thursday.
“It was so popular last year it ran out of funding, and we expect demand to be equally great this year,” PWP spokeswoman Nancy Long said of the program Metropolitan Water District is offering its member agencies, including the Pasadena utility.
“That’s why we want Pasadena customers to get in line early on,” Long said.
The MWD has set aside $9 million for the current program, Long said, with PWP kicking in $223,000,

Pasadena rebates through the residential “Water$ense” program include: high-efficiency toilets, $30-$50; efficient clothes washers, $100; weather-based irrigation controllers, $150; rotating sprinkler nozzles, $5; and, new to the program, synthetic turf, 60 cents a square foot.
Long said the synthetic turf is “low maintenance, evergreen … and saves many thousands of gallons that would otherwise go to watering one of the most water-thirsty of plants, grass.”
Pasadena commercial and multi-family water customers also can apply for “Save A Buck” program rebates up to $200 on zero- and ultra low-flow urinals, $150 on water brooms ($150), and $25 on

Multi-family and commercial rebate applicants must make a reservation before purchase, Long said.
Other residents don’t need a reservation, she said, but they should go to the Web site to make sure they’re “purchasing a qualifying product.” They then send in their application – which can be downloaded from the Web site – along with the receipt to get the rebate, Long said.
The MWD Web site will have a gauge showing how much funding is left as the program progresses, she said. Reflecting the financial downturn, Long said, some of the rebates are “a little lower” than last year and people may still feel they can’t afford to replace appliances in tight financial times.

“But obviously water rates have gone up all over California and anything users can do to keep in the lower tiers means substantial savings,” Long said. For more information on the rebate procedure, go to www.PasadenaSavesWater.com or call (626)744-6970.
The San Lorenzo Valley Water District launched a comprehensive water rebate program that will benefit district customers who buy devices and equipment that use less water.
“We hope these options can help reduce water (use) in areas where that is critical,” said Fred McPherson, the board’s president.
The southern part of the system — Graham Hill Road from Felton into Scotts Valley — primarily uses water drawn from aquifers, and the district hopes the new rebate program will especially help decrease water use there, McPherson said.
District customers can earn credits on their water bill of up to $750 by installing new devices. The credits will be given out until the remaining $24,000 kitty set aside in this year’s budget is used up.
“It’s on a first-come, first-served basis,” environmental analyst Betsy Herbert said. “They will go to those people that are quick to pick up on these rebates.”
Customers must pick up or request an application through the district office.

Previously, the district offered only toilet and washing machine credits.
Herbert said the district decided to expand the program because of the success with high-efficiency washing machines.
The One and Only download “The two rebates that we had were very popular, especially the clothes washer — that’s why we kept it,” Herbert said.
McPherson said he is pleased the district enacted the rebates despite the challenge of needing to sell water to customers to balance the district’s books.
“I love to see people using water and using it wisely,” he said.

Artificial turf grass enhances the overall look of your home. Using artificial turf is also convenient. That is why many individuals and families prefer using artificial turf in their homes. Even professional sports fields use artificial turf grass as well. With low maintenance benefits, using artificial turf is simply low cost in the long run as well. Best of all, you still get the look and feel of real grass when using artificial turf.
Chips Ahoy movie Artificial Turf Installation
Comparing the installation process of artificial turf grass and natural grass already contrasts the ease of having artificial turf. Natural turf would require getting farmyard compost before planting. You would also have to lay the turf as soon as you get the turf. If you are going to use seeds, you’d need to wait for it to grow. Laying artificial turf, on the other hand, does not have to be that difficult. There is no more waiting time. You will see the great look as soon as you finish the installation right away.
Maintenance Comparison
Using natural turf means maintaining sufficient soil moisture. Unlike artificial turf grass, you need to water the grass. So using artificial turf is really more convenient. Using artificial turf is also cost saving to you.
Regular irrigation is not needed in artificial turf grass. Of course, irrigation may be needed in artificial turf in some instances like in cleaning particular dirt and pet wastes. But you certainly need to do this less frequently when you have artificial turf since there is less danger of having yellow and brown turf.
Mowing is also not needed in artificial turf grass. You will again get additional savings in using artificial turf. Less effort is also needed when you have artificial turf. On the other hand, having natural grass requires proper blade length to maintain the look of the whole turf.
When using natural turf, you need sufficient air circulation and proper water absorption. Since artificial turf grass is not alive. There’s no more need to make sure rooting occurs properly. There’s no need for aeration in the artificial turf. You need not loosen the soil in the artificial turf either.
Natural turf needs fertilizers too. But artificial turf does not. This is another saving in using artificial turf grass. You also help preserve the environment this way. Since you do not use chemicals you do not pollute the soil, the water and the air.

Artificial turf grass is not prone to pests so again there’s not need to apply pesticides and other chemicals. Using artificial turf entails less maintenance and less hassle. When you have artificial turf you just have to enjoy using it than worrying about making it look great always.
With these benefits it’s quite obvious why artificial turf grass is preferred by many people. If you want lush greens, using artificial turf will do the job. The artificial turf will look as green as ever with minimum maintenance. While quality artificial turf costs more at installation, it is cheaper to have in the long run.
Each year over 200,000 children are injured in American playgrounds. 70% of the children injured received their injuries from falls to the surface below the play equipment. Playground safety begins with the proper artificial playground turf surface to protect your children or students from falls from equipment or tripping. Having the proper artificial playground turf surface is critical to ensuring that a simple fall from a slide or swing will not turn into a trip to the emergency room. Our artificial playground turfs are certified to meet critical fall heights requirements and are designed to create a safe and realistic surface that will keep your little ones playing safe and happily for years to come.
What is the “Playground Critical Fall Height for playground surfacing?
The playground critical fall height of a playground surface is based on the height of the highest piece of equipment that a child can stand on. This height will determine the thickness or impact attenuation a playground surface must have as described in ASTM F1292.
ASTM F1292 testing will provide a “critical height” rating of the playground surface. This height can be viewed as an approximation of the playground fall height which is below the level that would be expected to cause a life threatening head injury.
When looking for artificial playground turf surfacing it is very important to have the manufacturer or installer provide the playground critical fall height rating of their materials. ArtificialTurfSupply.com’s playground artificial turf products (ProPLAY PLUS series How to Sleep rip ) have a critical fall height rating of 7 feet. Make sure you are buying the right playground surface for your playground. You can’t put a price on the safety of the children playing on your playground.
How is the “Playground Critical Fall Height determined?
The most common way that artificial playground turfs are tested is a method used for evaluating the shock absorbing properties of a playground surfacing material. This method is dropping an instrumented metal head-form onto a sample of the playground surfacing material and to record the acceleration – time pulse during acceleration. Simply put, how fast and hard the metal head-form hit surface from varying heights.
Note: For both field and laboratory test methods please refer to ASTM F1292.
Pinocchio hd How is the height of the playground equipment determined?
Conan the Destroyer movie download The Shoes of the Fisherman film The Playground Critical fall height of equipment is determined by the distance between the highest designated play area of the equipment and the play surface underneath. This is measured form the point at which the feet can stand and not the overall top of the playground equipment. Many pieces of equipment have tops of coverings so the measurement is not taken form that point but where the child would be standing at the highest point during normal play.
The Mouse That Roared movie For example if you had a pyramid, climbing up that pyramid you would not be measuring the fall height from the very tip of the pyramid since you can’t stand on the tip. You would measure form the point at which the feet can stand.
Why is the Playground Critical fall height important?
There are a lot of companies out there that would tell you don’t have to worry about the fall height of your playground surfacing. We have seen many playgrounds especially in private pre schools where they will use an indoor outdoor carpet with a pad underneath it. May of the schools can have a long history of injury free play but all it takes is one bad fall by a child that can result in life threatening injuries. Once a child is severely injured or even worse, suffers a fatal injury, the money saved by installing an inferior playground surface becomes very unimportant, not to mention the legal liability this situation can create.

When a player falls, the impact is absorbed either by the playing surface or the player’s body. The “harder” the surface, the greater the amount of the impact absorbed by the player’s body; and, not surprisingly, the greater Concussions are a common injury the likelihood the fall will result in injury. This is especially true with respect to concussions – traumatic injuries to the brain – which can occur when the player’s head hits the playing surface. Concussions are an insidious form of injury. The effects of individual concussions are most often fairly mild. In the case of multiple concussions, however, the effects can be cumulative and the consequences can be long lasting - even permanent. Additionally, if a player has already experienced one concussion, they are more likely to experience another; and subsequent concussions carry a much higher risk of serious injury – up to, and including, death. If for no other reason than to lessen players’ exposure to this type of injury, it is important to monitor the impact-related characteristics of sports surfaces.
Impact testing (commonly referred to as Gmax testing) is used to measure the shock-absorbing properties of sports surfaces – including synthetic (artificial) turf and natural turf athletic fields. Gmax values express a ratio: the ratio of the maximum acceleration (deceleration) experienced during an impact, to the normal rate of acceleration due to gravity. The higher the Gmax value, the lower the shock-absorbing properties of the surface. Gmax measurements are a fundamental tool of athletic field safety testing. They are also useful in assessing the playability of a field.
Gmax testing involves measuring the shock absorbing properties of a playing surface in situ, and comparing the results against a standard. The most commonly used standard is the one established by ASTM
International (ASTM). For synthetic surfaces, ASTM specifies that the reported Gmax value for all test points on a field should be less than 200 Gmax (as measured in accordance with ASTM procedures F355-A and F1936). If the standard isn’t met, the field is considered unsafe and remediation is required.
Secretary dvd While the maximum threshold value of 200 Gmax is the de facto standard for evaluating the safety of an artificial field, many architects set different standards for the fields they design. These alternate standards typically involve a range of acceptable Gmax values. The range sets an upper limit that addresses safety, and a lower limit that focuses on playability. The operative assumption is that fields that are too “hard” are dangerous, while fields that are too “soft” contribute to excessive fatigue and poor player performance. The range of acceptable values will vary in accordance with the materials and methods used to build a field, and also as a matter of the architect’s personal preferences.
