When can I water?

1. Under the normal water schedule, water users can water on the days that are most convenient and efficient up to water 3 days per week.
2. From May 1 to September 1, no watering between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

How long should I water?

Adjust your irrigation timer monthly. Gradually build up to the peak irrigation need of approximately 1.5 inches of water per week in July and August, or 1/2 inch per day when watering 3 times per week. Then, gradually decrease the irrigation amount each month until winter.

How long do I water to apply 1/2 inches of water?

This depends on your sprinkler heads and pressures. A good rule of thumb is:

• 20 minutes for pop up heads.
• 40 minutes for rotating heads.
