The image explains the difference between domestic water and irrigation water, highlighting the strain on water supply from using domestic water for outdoor watering.

Outdoor Watering Use

Our water supply is limited, and summer demand, especially for outdoor watering, puts additional strain on our system. We are asking customers not to use domestic water for outdoor watering purposes to help protect reliable service later in the season.

Conserving early helps avoid restrictions and ensures water is available when it’s needed during the hottest, driest months. Check with your irrigation water provider for restrictions on irrigation water.

When irrigation water is available, it is recommended that you follow the Suggested Outdoor Watering Schedule, which can be found at dripinfo.com
