I received a small pamphlet from the Las Vegas Valley Water District today which contained some helpful reminders and tips for saving water as the summer heat kicks in:
- What is the best time of day to water? Before sunrise.
- How long should I run my sprinklers for? 4 minutes at a time for three cycles, with an hour break in between.
- How many days should I run my drip irrigation system? 3 days a week.
The pamphlet also reminded me to water my lawn only on my assigned day of the week (Group B: Tuesday). The restriction, enforced between 5/1 and 8/31, is new to me but makes sense. In Los Angeles we were in perpetual droughts but no one ever seemed to do anything about it. I can live with watering only on Tuesdays.
