Overwatering is for the birds. 🦩
Start watering 1X a week and increase slowly. Never more than 3X per week.

Spring watering tip: Ease into it.
Your lawn just woke up — it doesn’t need a full spa day yet.
Start at 1X a week, then slowly bump up to 2X… and eventually no more than 3X a week as temps rise.

💡 Let your lights shine bright — and let your sprinklers sit this one out.
Landscapes are dormant in winter and don’t need extra watering. Turning off your irrigation system now helps prevent damage, saves water, and keeps our community’s supply strong for spring. #wateroff

WCWCD rolls out a new water-shortage plan that hands cities the reins — they’ll each get a cut in water budgets (10-60%) and must decide how to comply. Miss the mark? Penalties of 300-500% extra cost. Drought risk meets local action. stgeorgeutah.com/news/washin…
