Only water when needed and only on your assigned watering day. You may not need to water if rain is in the forecast. Subscribe to WaterMyYard.org for weekly watering recommendations.
In the Spring, watering with sprinklers between 10 am and 6 pm is prohibited, as these are the hottest hours of the day. Winter watering allows for watering during these hours.
Foundations and landscaping, including grass, shrubs and trees, may be watered for up to 2 hours any day by a hand-held hose or soaker hose.
Low-flow drip irrigation systems may operate as needed.
Excessive water runoff and watering during rain is prohibited.
A variance may be requested to water new landscapes for up to 30 days. Read the Water Variance Procedures (PDF) for instructions. Variances are not required for filling pools.
