Water Conservation An irrigation system is a great option to have as a Texas homeowner. If your home already has a system, or you choose to install one, you may enjoy the benefits that come with it. An irrigation system plays a vital role in keeping all your flowerbeds and lawns looking their best. Now that it is summer, it is a good time to inspect and make sure your system is performing at its best. All heads should spray uniformly and pressure should be the same at all heads, if designed correctly. If this is not the case, check for a leak or clogged nozzles. As the temperature rises, it becomes more important to conserve water. Ways to save water: • To reduce water evaporation and waste, citizens are prohibited by ordinance, from watering outdoors from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. year-round.• Check the watering schedule for your system and limit landscape watering to two days each week.• Plant native grasses and plants that are drought tolerant and require minimal water.• Apply a 3” to 4” layer of mulch to all trees and shrubs to help retain moisture and keep weeds away.• Make sure your rain/freeze sensor is operating correctly. This shuts down the controller operation if moisture is detected and if temperatures drop below 35°.• Adjust all heads so they spray the turf or beds and not the concrete. If water is running down the street, you may be over watering and might need to cut back your time.• Most established lawns only need 1” of water each week. • Use drip irrigation to reduce water loss due to evaporation. Drip irrigation applies water where it is needed and slowly enough that there is minimal run off. For any issues with your irrigation system, please contact a state-licensed irrigator to perform your repairs and installations.
