With the unusually wet weather in June and July, many people have delayed turning on their automatic sprinkler systems. Please remember that the annual outdoor watering rules are in effect until October 1st. The watering rules incorporate best practices for efficient outdoor water use that will help keep your landscape healthy.
- Water during cooler times of the day — lawn watering is not allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
- Water no more than three days per week.
- Do not allow water to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.
- Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete and asphalt.
