Water Conservation Watering Your Lawn: Easy tips for saving water in your yard. Most of us tend to over-water our lawns. For most lawns with an automatic sprinkler system, watering three times per week for 10-15 minutes per day is adequate. Also remember that your lawn doesn’t need as much water in the spring and fall as it does in the hot months of summer. Avoid water runoff: If you have an adjustable time on your sprinkler system, divide your watering times into three short cycles one hour apart. For example, time your sprinkler to water your lawn for 5 minutes at 5 am, 5 minutes at 6 am and 7 minutes at 7am for a total of 15 minutes. This allows the water to seep deeper into the soil to reach plant roots and helps to prevent runoff. Editor: Melanie L. McCoy, General General Manager
