City of Aurora CO Watering Schedule 2016

Water is still one of our most precious resources.  Even though we have had plenty of snow this past winter, we need to be mindful of the amount of water we pour into our landscape. 

The City of Aurora has come out with their 2016 watering schedule. 

Residents of Aurora Colorado are permitted to water their lawns three days per week.  Residents can choose which three days they wish to irrigate.  Watering between 10:00 and and 6:00 pm is prohibited so make sure to set your automatic sprinkler system accordingly.

Here are the recommended watering times depending on the type of sprinklers you have:

            Rotary Nozzles – 15 minutes per zone

            Rotor Heads – 7 minutes per zone

            Pop Up Sprinklers – 4 minutes per zone

            Manual Sprinklers – 15 minutes

If you have pop-up sprinklers, the City is recommending that you run them 4 minutes per zone, three times a day with at least one hour in between.

Having a lush lawn is always desirable but Please Don’t Waste Our Water!
