Watch the Weather - Wait to Water Your Yard!

During the summer months of June, July, August and September, yards need only about ¾ inch of water every 3 to 5 days. If your lawn has received enough water from rainfall, then you can turn off your irrigation system and operate it manually as needed.

Take full advantage of the rain
  • Make sure gutter downspouts are directed into landscaped areas or lawn.
  • Install a rain barrel to capture excess rainwater.
 Attend a rain barrel workshop to learn more. To register click here.
