WITH FALL APPROACHING, IT’S TIME TO START CUTTING BACK ON OUTDOOR WATERING

As days get shorter, and nights get cooler, outdoor plants require less water than they did in the hot summer months. This seasonal change means less water is lost to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration, making outdoor water budgets smaller.

3 EASY WAYS TO MANAGE YOUR OUTDOOR WATERING NEEDS WHILE STAYING WITHIN YOUR WATER BUDGET.

OPTIMIZE YOUR IRRIGATION SCHEDULE

One of the most effective ways to save water is to irrigate efficiently. Get a customized watering schedule for your landscape by using our “Quick Start Guide to Water Wise Irrigation.” Visit mnwd.com/irrigation-guide to get started.
