How will this save water? Twice a week offers more watering days than the old five-day schedule?
The new schedule will save water by being easier to remember and easier to follow. Water Conservations irrigation staff found that only 12% of the properties they audited were following the five-day schedule, and over 60% were watering more than twice a week. Getting those customers to water just twice a week will result in large savings. In addition, many customers will find that their landscapes will do well on just once a week watering, something that was difficult under the five day schedule.
