Summer Watering

Stage 2 Watering Rules in Effect

Once-a-week watering from 7-11 a.m. and 7-11 p.m.

Set Sprinklers for Savings

Summer sizzle and bone-dry conditions may have you reaching for the hose or irrigation controller, but too much outdoor watering can soak your water bill.

The average irrigation system uses 2,000 gallons each time it runs.  Running your irrigation system twice a week can more than triple your water bill. The more you water, the higher your water bill.

Don’t get soaked (or shocked) by a high bill or a citation. Schedule a FREE irrigation consultation and we’ll help you set a personalized irrigation schedule that matches your landscape’s water needs.

Three Ways to Reduce Summer Water Bills

  1. Water no more than once a week. Less is better. Your landscape will stay healthy—and so will your wallet. Keeping grass as green in the summer as it is during spring is expensive.
  2. How low can you go? Replace grass with native and drought-tolerant plants.  Water less and by hand to keep them looking healthy and your water bill low. Use our $100 WaterSaver Landscape Coupons to get started.
  3.  Keep an eye out for leaks. Apply for a water flow sensor rebate and keep a close eye on real-time water use.

THE TAKEAWAY

Landscape watering

  • Twice a week can TRIPLE your bill.
  • Set irrigation controller to manual.
  • Hand-watering is most efficient for plants and your wallet.
