CUT BACK YOUR OUTDOOR WATERING IN 2015


State water cuts went into effect June 1, and City of San Diego customers are mandated to cut our collective water usage by 16%. To meet this requirement, we'll need your help.
Reducing landscape irrigation is the best way to meet that 16% reduction goal. We are urging customers to cut the watering of their landscapes to no more than two days per week, for 5 minutes per day.*  Also, to reduce evaporation and get the most out of your watering, water only after 6 pm and before 10 am. Below is a schedule of watering days for San Diegans.
*The 5-minutes-per-day time limit does NOT apply to landscape irrigation systems using water-efficient devices, including drip and micro-irrigation systems and stream rotor sprinklers. However, these water-efficient systems should follow the two-day-per-week schedule above, as well as the time-of-day schedule requiring that you water no earlier than 6 pm and no later than 10 am.
