Give A Drip – Water Less this Fall, Y’all!

Grasses and other plants are slowing down their growth to prepare for winter dormancy and don’t need as much water as during the hot summer months.

Not sure how long you need to water your yard? Sign up for precise sprinkler runtime recommendations at WaterMyYard.org.

Now is also the perfect time to schedule a free Irrigation Checkup to identify any repairs or adjustments your sprinkler system may need to water most efficiently and avoid leaks. Follow the link below to schedule – it’s free!

C’mon and Give a Drip:

  • Make sure your sprinkler system is set to water no more than 2 days per week (See watering schedule chart below for your city/utility).
  • Cycle and soak before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. — it’s the rules! Water in two, short cycles (5-6 minutes each), with an hour between cycles.
  • Sign up for weekly watering tips, emailed straight to you through Water My Yard.
  • Turn off sprinklers when it’s rainy or windy and consider a smart, WaterSense Labeled controller.
  • Check and update your sprinkler system for leaks and fix broken heads. Sign up for a free Irrigation Checkup with our Irrigation Specialist.
  • Try multi-stream, more efficient spray heads for your yard and drip irrigation options for gardens and home foundations.
  • Make your soil healthier with amendments (learn how in this Water Talk video).
  • Plant native or adapted flowers, bushes and trees (learn more).
