Welcome to Water Conservation!

We are here to help you use water wisely, which both preserves our limited water resources and can save you money on your utility bills!

It is that time of year!

Change your clocks, change your sprinkler timers!

In accordance with City code, when Daylight Saving Time begins on March 10, 2013, residents and businesses can reset their sprinklers to water up to 3 times per week based on their address. Properties with addresses ending in ODD numbers (1,3,5,7, or 9) can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays. EVEN numbered addresses (ending in 0,2,4,6, or 8) may water on Wednesdays, Fridays or Sundays. All watering must take place before 10 a.m. and after 7 p.m. and no watering is allowed on Mondays.

Remember! With cooler temperatures and wet weather, you will need to water less! Consider watering less until heat returns later this spring.

Getting your video on YouTube? Whatever.
On TV and a Jumbotron? Legit.
