How the District is conserving water
Voluntary Watering
Restrictions
We are requesting the residents' cooperation with a voluntary summer
watering schedule.
If your address ends with an even number, please set your
irrigation system
to water on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.
If your address ends with an odd number,
please set your irrigation system to water on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Please do not water on Mondays.
This day is reserved for no watering, and
also allows our water storage tank to recover
and refill after weekend use.
Easy Ways to Conserve Water
Water only early in the morning and after
sundown. Most lawns get too much water: Visit
www.watersaver.org to determine how
much your lawn really needs.
Cut your watering time by 10 percent and lighten
up on the fertilizer.
Tune up your automatic sprinkler system. Minor
adjustments may make it work better for you.
Use mulch in planter areas to help retain
moisture and fight weeds.

Water Conservation Tips
-
Set your irrigation
system to water early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the
heat of the day and loss through evaporation.
-
Set your irrigation
system seasonally. Your lawn does not generally require as much water
in the spring and fall as it does during the middle summer. The
District has information available about turf water requirements.
-
During periods of
rain put your irrigation system into a rain mode. When things dry up
resume the voluntary schedule.
-
You may hand water
with a hose and a functioning on/off nozzle on any day. Please don’t
let an open hose run as you wash your automobile or while you answer
your telephone or attend to other interruptions.
-
Fix any leaking
faucets or running toilets.
-
If you are designing
new landscape or rejuvenating your old design, please consider Xeriscape
plantings. Visit our office to see how beautiful Xeriscape truly can
be.
-
If you see a broken
irrigation head anywhere in the District, please be a “Good Neighbor”
and notify us immediately. If it is the District’s system, we will take
action to have it repaired immediately. The District will notify
individual homeowners and sub-homes associations to help them correct
the problem.
-
For newly installed
landscape, which needs more water to become established, the District
has small “Irrigation Exemption” signs available that can be placed on
the mailbox to inform of the exemption. Please contact our office.
How the District is
conserving water.
-
The District’s maintained
landscape will be watered using the voluntary schedule.
-
A staff member has been
assigned to monitor all the irrigation in the Village and will shut our
system down during periods of rain.
-
Irrigation will be set seasonally.
-
With no irrigation set to
water on Monday, this will allow the water treatment plant to recharge our
storage tank.
-
The District will analyze
water bills monthly and notify excessive users to see if there is a
problem – perhaps a water leak or other problem that can be corrected.
-
The District will be
evaluating its maintained landscape to see if it would be appropriate to
return some areas to native.
-
The District has staff available that can help you with
suggestions for your irrigation system and water use management.
It is important to note, if the voluntary summer irrigation schedule
does not work, the District may need to implement mandatory water
restrictions.
