August 2014 – Recent rains have been good for our yards and wallets. Remember to adjust your sprinklers according to the weather – if it rains, skip a day of watering.
Remember, choose any two days to water, and if it’s dry, add a third day. Here are the recommended watering times for August:
- Fixed spray heads: 14 minutes per zone
- Rotary nozzles: 27 minutes per zone
- Rotor heads: 34 minutes per zone
- Manual sprinklers: 20 minutes per zoneLearn more at: http://www.denverwater.org/Conservation/WaterUseRulesRegulations/

Other Tips:
Maintain and adjust your sprinkler system to ensure you are watering efficiently. At least once a month after mowing, test each irrigation zone to make sure everything is functioning properly and that the lawnmower hasn’t knocked any heads out of alignment.
