Tips for Proper Lawn Irrigation

  • When you turn on automatic irrigation systems, check for leaks or broken sprinkler heads that waste water. 
  • Limit irrigation to 15 minutes per area/zone with a maximum watering of two hours per day, every other day. This will help save 20 percent on overall usage.
  • Rain sensors are required.
