Outdoor Watering Tips for Fall and Winter Months
During September, water needs are still as high as the summer months but once October hits, the cooler temperatures and shorter days begin and water needs are drastically reduced. We recommend watering your lawn very early in the morning, before 10 A.M., no more than 3 times a week on the odd even schedule. For details on watering schedules, visit our water conservation page.

Rain Gardens can help save water and provide shelter for beautiful butterflies and birds in your garden!   How do rain gardens work? It’s simple - Rain water from your property flows into the rain garden and soaks into the ground. Find out how you can begin planning for a rain garden in your own home.
