Water-Efficient Landscaping

To keep Roxborough Water a water-efficient community, it’s important to know how much and when to water. Here are some simple tips when it comes to watering your lawns:

• Turn off automatic sprinkler systems to avoid watering when it’s raining or windy.
• Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete/asphalt.
• Generally, it’s best to water in multiple short cycles to avoid runoff, promote deeper roots, and maintain a healthier lawn.
• Make sure your sprinklers are functioning correctly on a regular basis.
• Hand watering is always allowed.
• Be sure to know your watering schedule (see below) and only water between 10pm and 6am.
