As we approach the summer months each year, the City’s water consumption increases. Most of the increase is due to outdoor water usage. Outdoor water usage is dependent upon rainfall and the heat index experienced during the summer. Even during hot, dry periods, we can be smart about irrigating our lawn and landscape. Please irrigate on designated days only. This helps reduce our daily summer demand. Do not apply more than 1.5 inches to your lawn each week since that is all your yard needs to thrive during the summer. Let’s be WaterSmart.
