Time-of-day watering restrictions are in effect

Through Aug. 31, mandatory watering restrictions prohibit landscape irrigation between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Watering on Sundays is always prohibited.

A water shortage on the Colorado River means it's more important than ever to conserve water, so ramp up irrigation slowly! The impulse to crank up landscape watering is strong when temperatures get hotter. In early summer, when nights are still cool, gradually increase your sprinkler watering from three days to four. From there, keep an eye on your landscape and increase watering only as needed into June, July and August.

Watering tips
Watering Tips: Save at least $300 a year on your water bill by following the seasonal watering restrictions.
Water grass for a recommended 12 minutes total on your assigned watering days. Plants and trees on drip irrigation require much less water than grass. Get outdoor irrigation tips and find your watering days.
Follow the seasonal watering restrictions. Change your watering clock each season to your assigned day(s). It's the law.
Upgrade your water-thirsty grass to a vibrant, water-smart landscape and get a rebate from the SNWA. This can reduce your outdoor water use by up to 75 percent!
