The time is now to DIAL BACK your irrigation for the winter season |
Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer. During the cooler winter months, you can reduce your irrigation or stop irrigating altogether when the rain starts falling. But be mindful of the health of your trees—they may still need water! The City of Palo Alto offers tips and resources to help you properly irrigate and maintain a sustainable landscape.
Visit our educational resources webpage and keep a lookout for upcoming virtual events which we will announce in our newsletters.
WATER USE EFFICIENCY
In many Palo Alto homes, more than 50% of water is used outdoors for landscaping. The City partners with Valley Water and the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) on conservation programs and education to help you improve water use efficiency in the landscape and home. Sign up to receive free water wise survey kits!
Let us help you evaluate your water use both indoors and out, with free conservation advice and rebates for water-saving equipment. Learn about the services available to Palo Alto customers at cityofpaloalto.org/UtilityPrograms.
Additional water resources, including videos on checking for leaks and sustainable landscaping tips, are available at cityofpaloalto.org/water
