Winter Watering Restrictions

Winter watering is restricted to one
assigned day per week.

Mandatory watering restrictions limit landscape irrigation to one assigned day per week from Nov. 1 through Feb. 28.

Sunday is not an optional watering day.

If you don't comply with the watering restrictions, you could be assessed a water waste fee.

Sprinkler Watering Tips

• Aerate your lawn. Aeration pulls tiny plugs from the soil, allowing water to be better absorbed.
• Bermuda goes dormant in the winter so it doesn't need much water. Irrigate bermuda grass just once per month November through March.
• Avoid afternoon winds and reduce the risk of icing by watering in the midmorning.
• Add a protective mulch on the soil around your plants to trap moisture.
• If frost or a freeze damages a plant, leave it alone until warmer weather arrives and new growth appears. Pruning or transplanting a damaged plant in the winter can hurt or even kill it.
• Turn on sprinklers for a minute after you mow and scan for broken or misaligned sprinkler heads and broken pipes.

Drip Watering Tips

During winter, run your drip irrigation system in a single cycle of 30 to 90 minutes, one day a week. The length of watering should be determined by the emitter flow rate, soil type and weather conditions. See our drip watering tips for details.

Daylight-Saving Time Ends

Don't forget to reset your irrigation clock when daylight-saving time ends on the first Sunday in November at 2 a.m. When you're changing your indoor clocks, make sure you update the time on your irrigation clock.
