Outdoor Watering Guide

Water usage outdoors can account for approximately 50 – 70% of total water usage in Southern California Homes. One of the most effective ways to conserve water is to irrigate efficiently.

Inspecting your sprinklers on a frequent basis and using water efficient devices such as a weather-based irrigation controller, drip irrigation and rotating spray nozzles will help minimize water waste.
