It’s Time to Fall Back and Adjust Your Irrigation

458816733Leftover Halloween candy won’t be the only treat this Sunday. Daylight Savings Time ends on November 1, which will give us all an extra hour of sleep and a longer Sunday!  As you change your clocks, watches, coffee makers, etc. – there is one clock that can be easy to forget but one of the most critical and that’s your irrigation timer.

Proper water management is crucial to the vitality of a healthy lawn. While too much water can be bad for your grass – and your wallet, it is important to continue to water your lawn throughout the winter season.

Now is a great opportunity to re-evaluate the frequency of your irrigation system and ensure your system is functioning properly.  Doing this can save money on your monthly water bill by reducing unnecessary consumption.

In many states, it is also a requirement to change the frequency of your watering schedule to comply with regulatory statutes.  Check your local water management district’s website to understand what requirements to follow in your area at the end of Daylight Saving Time.
