Denver Water got super creative this year with their Summer Watering Rules reminder!
Their rendition of the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” is a fun and perfect reminder of how to follow their annual watering rules.
The watering rules incorporate best practices for efficient outdoor water use that will help keep your landscape healthy. It’s a simple way for you to help protect our water supply now and in the future.
- Water during cooler times of the day — lawn watering is NOT allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
- Water two days per week, adding a third day only when needed. (Watering more than three days is not allowed.)
- Do not allow water to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.
- Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete and asphalt.
- Repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days.
- Do not irrigate while it is raining or during high winds.
- Use a hose nozzle with a shut-off valve when washing your car.
July is Smart Irrigation Month, a perfect time to upgrade or maintenance your irrigation system. You can install high-efficiency sprinklers, adjust your system’s control clock, or purchase a WaterSense-labeled irrigation control system that adjusts watering times based on local weather conditions and can be adjusted remotely.
