November is when we recommend you turn off your irrigation controller due to freezing temperatures. For trees that still need water this month, hand water per the Fall Season Watering Recommendations. If you have turf, water for only one day per week. Remember that if it rains or snows more than ½ inch, count that day as one of your watering days and cut back on supplemental irrigation.
Lower temperatures and shorter days in the months of October and November mean less evaporation. Thus, less irrigation is required. Adjust your irrigation controller following the Fall Season Watering Recommendations below to keep your landscape healthy. If you have turf, water only one or two days per week, and two to four days a month for trees. For other type of plants see below for watering recommendations. Remember that if it rains more than half an inch, count that day as one of your watering days and cut back on supplemental irrigation. So far, customers’ water demand is 800 million gallons less compare to last year!
