Time-of-day watering restrictions 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.

Overwatering and watering at the wrong time wastes water, our desert community’s most precious resource. Avoid hefty water waste fines—change your watering clock to comply with seasonal watering restrictions. It's the law!

Ramp up irrigation slowly

The impulse to crank up landscape watering is strong when temperatures start getting hotter, but grass, trees and plants actually don't need as much water as we sometimes think.

In May, while 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.
