Summer Conservation Tips
- Avoid watering during the heat of the day, between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm, to reduce evaporation.
- Be mindful of the weather, avoid watering on rainy or windy days.
- Water deep, 2-3 times a week, depending on the weather.
- Keep grass 2-3 inches high to shade roots and hold moisture.
- Avoid watering hard surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and landscape material.
- Amend your landscape soil and use mulch to reduce the need for water.
- Plant water-saving plants. We recommend the Plant Select® brand, developed for our climate and soil conditions.
- Check your irrigation system – read more by clicking the link to the right for a FREE Sprinkler System Audit.
- Don’t wash your car at home where the water, soap, and road chemicals will wash into the storm-drain. Take your car to the car wash where the water and chemicals will be recycled.
