Summer Time – Conserve Water
Now that the summer months are here it is more important to watch your water consumption, in the home and outside. One of the best things you can do right now is the voluntary water plan that allows three specific days for watering the lawn and any day of the week to hand water your gardens, shrubs and trees.
Assigned-Day Watering
If the last number of your home or business address is EVEN (0,2,4,6,8) water your lawn on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. ODD (1,3,5,7,9) water your lawn Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Do not water between noon and 6pm from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Give watering a rest on Monday for the water system to replenish and maintain the water system. Assigned Day watering helps regulate water use in the Valley during peak months. Please don’t waste, and please member to water weather-wisely on the recommended days. Hand watering of trees, shrubs, flower beds and vegetable gardens is fine any day of the week. Thanks for helping to conserve water in Sun Valley.
