Another scorching Southern Nevada summer is almost behind us, which means it’s almost time for football and pumpkin spice weather. Another sign of the changing seasons is the arrival of the community’s mandatory fall watering restrictions.
In effect from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, the fall watering restrictions limit landscape irrigation to ONLY three assigned days per week; sprinkler watering is prohibited on Sunday. Watering outside of your assigned watering days can result in costly water-waste fines. You can find your assigned watering days at snwa.com.
During the fall, your drip-irrigated plants and trees should be watered on a recommended two-days-a-week schedule, based on the flow rate of your emitters. That’s really all they need!
Meanwhile, grass should be watered no more than three days a week. While this may not sound like much, keep in mind that temperatures are getting cooler and your landscape can stay vibrant and healthy throughout the season with even less water than you think it needs.
If you have grass, continue running your spray irrigation systems during the early morning hours through October to help minimize water potentially lost to wind and evaporation. Also, be sure to inspect and test your system regularly to locate and repair leaks, and to prevent overspray onto sidewalks and streets and other malfunctions—which could result in a water-waste fee.
