Save water by watering less
Thinking about watering that lawn this summer?? Turf requires 1-1.5 inches of water per week for optimal growth
– One inch irrigation = 624 gallons per 1,000 ft2
– A typical 1/3 acre lot with a 2,000 ft2 house footprint needs 7,812 gallons per week
Also, check out City Utilities new volunteer even/odd water days!
City Utilities is asking its water customers to participate in a voluntary odd/even watering program modeled after others in place across the country. The program is an effort to gain data on water savings possible if customers voluntarily alternate lawn irrigation. Visit http://www.cityutilities.net/newsroom/news03.htm for more information.
