City of CdA: Do’s, Don’ts Of Watering

Item: Water conservation efforts save water and money /Water Superintendent Jim Markley. Coeur d’Alene Today

More Info: If your sprinklers are poorly adjusted and you are watering the street, you are paying for water without receiving any benefit. Watering during the heat of the day and when it is windy increases evaporation. You are paying for water that doesn’t moisten your lawn’s roots and again you are not getting the full benefit of the water you are buying. Evening or early morning watering is more efficient. Increased water demand creates a need for additional wells. The customers ultimately pay for the operation and maintenance of new facilities.

Question: Do you know whether or not you water your yard and garden properly? Do you care?
