Is Your Sprinkler Schedule Still Set for Summer?
As temperatures begin to change, October is a good time for customers to take a look at their water use and outdoor watering schedule.
Summer typically brings increased outdoor water use, but sprinkler timers don’t automatically know when the seasons change. A watering schedule that made sense during hotter summer weather may use more water than needed as temperatures cool.
Customers can take a few simple steps to better understand their water use:
- Compare current water use with previous billing periods.
- Check sprinkler timers and adjust watering times as weather conditions change.
- Look for broken sprinkler heads, overspray, or signs of leaks.
- Pay attention to unexpected increases in water use that may indicate something has changed around the property.
Taking a few minutes to review water use and irrigation settings can help customers identify changes early, use water efficiently, and better understand their water bill.
At BCVWD, we encourage customers to stay informed about their water use throughout the year. Small seasonal adjustments can add up to meaningful water savings.
