TIPS
-
Mulch
Spreading a layer of organic mulch around plants retains moisture and saves water, time and money.
-
Check your sprinkler system
Remember to check your sprinkler system valves periodically for leaks and keep the sprinkler heads in good shape.
-
Cycle and Soak
If water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering time into shorter periods to allow for better absorption.
-
Power Outages
Sprinkler system settings may change after a power outage. Check your programmer frequently to make sure all settings, including the current time and date, are correct.

Rainfall and Watering
Wondering how much to water this week? Check out the Rainfall Around Town report or jump to some watering advice.
Many thanks to our volunteers for collecting and reporting rainfall amounts. Any rainfall we receive reduces the need for watering, so they’re helping all of us conserve water! Volunteers empty their rain gauges each morning and report the total for the preceding 24-hour period, so the number for Monday includes rain from Sunday morning to Monday morning. Some volunteers report the data from their own weather stations.
Contact us if you are interested in volunteering (basic rain gauge provided).
