Timing is everything! Be strategic about your watering schedule by planning to turn on your irrigation system early in the morning or later in the evening. As much as 30 percent of water can be lost due to evaporation by watering midday.

If a water hydrant is illegally opened, it can contribute to a water main break. It also wastes a huge amount of water. Depending on the level of pressure, 1,000 gallons of water can be released per minute. If a hydrant is open all day, over a million gallons of water could stream out! Keep them closed and report any open hydrants to us or 911.
