WATERWISE TIPS

Detect and repair all leaks in your irrigation system.
Water the lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day (early morning is best). Do not water on windy days unless it’s by drip.
Water trees and shrubs, which have deep root systems, longer and less frequently than shallow-rooted plants that require smaller amounts of water more often.
Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only – not the street or sidewalk - to avoid runoff.
