IRRIGATION CONSERVATION TIPS
1. Water the lawn in early morning (Before 5am) and late evening hours (After 7 PM).
2. Check your irrigation system to verify that your water is going on the lawn and not on your sidewalks, driveways, streets or walls. You may need to adjust the spray angles on the sprinkler heads.
3. Check your irrigation system through an entire cycle to verify that your water is staying on the lawn and soaking in, and not running down the street. You may need to water for a shorter time period and possibly more frequently allowing for the water to soak in and not run down the street.
4. Check your irrigation system for leaks;
a. Turn on each area and walk through the area served to verify no water is running out of the ground, or shooting straight up into the air. You may have a broken pipe or a damaged sprinkler head.
b. With the irrigation system off for at least 30 minutes, check each sprinkler head and verify that no water is coming out of the sprinkler head , if water is coming out of the sprinkler head this indicates that one of the valves is not closing completely.
c. Shortly after the irrigation system turns off walk through the yard looking for sand or dirt washed up by the sprinkler system this will indicate a leak in an underground pipe.
The Drought Contingency Message today is DON"T WASTE WATER. Use what you need but do not allow water to be wasted. This one item will make the biggest difference and will help us to achieve water conservation goals.
