Reclaimed Water Conservation
  • Water only when your lawn needs it. To test if your lawn needs watering, step on it. If the grass springs back up when you move, it doesn't need additional watering. If it lays flat, it does need additional watering.
  • When you do irrigate, a good soaking will help build a deep healthy root system. Usually, 3/4 to a full inch of water per session is sufficient.
  • Be careful not to over irrigate. Not only does it waste water, but it also flushes nutrients (the fertilizer that you bought) out of the root zone and into the groundwater where it becomes a pollutant. •  Reclaimed water runoff from your lawn is also a pollutant.
  • Keep your irrigation system in good repair. Broken or misdirected sprinkler heads will waste a lot of water.
