See our Facebook feed below for relevant conservation tips, information, and opportunities to save water, so that we can all do our part to conserve this precious resource.
You should always put plants with similar watering needs on the same station because otherwise, you risk overwatering some plants and underwatering others.
For example, grass in the summer can be watered once every 2 - 3 days, about 6 - 10 inches deep, while trees can be watered once a week about 2 - 3 feet deep. If you water your grass and your trees on the same station, you would be overwatering your trees to properly water your grass.

Landscape Watering by the Numbers

Landscape care doesn’t have to be difficult when you have the information you need. Find easy ways to conserve with Landscape Watering by the Numbers.Changing your irrigation schedule at least four times a year can save up to 30% water as compared to just changing the schedule twice a year (once for summer, and once for winter).
Turn your irrigation system on and walk through it to make sure everything is working properly. Do this with both your drip system and sprinkler system. An inspection includes looking at the irrigation valves for leaks, looking at the sprinkler heads and drip emitters for leaks or malfunctions, and listening for any hissing that can indicate a leak in the piping for the system.
Up to 70% of water use in an average residential home in Arizona is used outdoors for landscaping, pools, and other features. Make sure your water is being used well by updating your irrigation schedule monthly and repair leaks as soon as you notice them!
