WATER-SAVING
ADVICE
Watering
your yard really doesn't have to cost "an arm and a leg."
With a properly planned and operating irrigation system you
can cut your water usage as much as 50%. You can start by knowing
how much water you are applying at each watering...it's effortless!
- Place
several empty coffee cans or similar containers around your yard and
water until 1" of water accumulates in the containers.
- Time
this event - then you will know how long you should water.
- Plan
your watering cycle for every third day. (If you observe any water
runoff, cut the watering time to half and water 2 times during each
planned watering day.)
- Shut
off the irrigation system if you observe rain and let the rainy day
take place of one of your watering cycle days.
- July
and August are months that normally require additional water, possibly
as much as 50% more.
- Throughout
winter months, water only one time every 10-15 days, during warmer
daytime hours, and when there is no snow on the ground.
Simple,
right? Now you can enjoy your yard while saving thousands of gallons
of water each year, and don't forget those dollars you will also save! |
