I’m putting in new landscaping. How can I be sure it will receive enough water?
You should apply for a Special Irrigation Permit which will allow your plants to get the extra water needed during establishment. The Special Irrigation Permit allows you to irrigate for 14 continuous days (excluding Mondays) for newly-planted trees, shrubs, gardens, and newly-sodded lawns. The permit allows you to irrigate for 25 continuous days (excluding Mondays) for newly-seeded lawns. Irrigation should not be scheduled between 10a.m. and 4.m. on any day.
