2022 Be Water Smart Tips
Replace Older Sprinklers with High-Efficiency Ones
You can reduce the amount of water you use to water your lawn by 30 percent by replacing your older sprinklers with high-efficiency rotator sprinklers. They deliver multiple streams of water at a slower rate that allows the soil to more easily absorb the water.
Add a Weather-Based Sprinkler Timer
Help conserve water during the drought by upgrading your sprinkler system with a weather-based sprinkler timer. They use real-time weather data and information about your yard to automatically adjust how long your sprinklers run.
Check Soil Moisture
The best way to tell if your landscape needs water is by checking the soil moisture level with a moisture meter or screwdriver.
