In addition to conserving water, this practice enables the Water Utility to maintain sufficient reserves for fire fighting and necessary tasks in homes and businesses during times of high demand. Although the odd-even sprinkling schedule is a necessary tool, we prefer to promote conservation through education.
Water lawns during morning and evening hours and when it is less windy.
Mow your grass to a length of 2 to 3 inches. This will shade the soil and prevent evaporation. Use water conservation devices such as flow-restricted showerheads and faucet aerators. Fix leaking toilets and dripping faucets. Landscape with plants native to our area that don't require a lot of watering.
