Opportunities to save water—even in the winter

It is more important than ever to remind everyone that although we are out of the dry season and into our winter months it doesn’t mean the drought is over. When it rains, conserving water may be the last thing on your mind, however, water conservation here in California should be a year-round habit. Statewide mandatory water regulations are still in place.
One of the best ways to conserve water is to turn off your sprinklers before it starts raining, keep them off while it is raining, and then continue to keep them off for at least 48 hours after the rain has stopped. As the weather cools, lawns, and plants don’t need as much water and when it is raining, they don’t need water at all.

Please continue to use water wisely, and maintain your trees and landscape carefully throughout the winter season and beyond.
