Irrigation Updates
August 28, 2026
Resume Odd/Even Rotation Schedule Immediately
We understand that some customers may have adjusted their watering times during periods of extreme heat. If you moved your irrigation outside your assigned water window, it is important that you immediately reprogram your timer and follow the established schedule for the remainder of the season.
Following the schedule distributes demand more evenly throughout the system, supports reliable service, and helps conserve our incredibly important shared water resource.
What you need to know
Odd-number addresses irrigate on odd calendar days (example: 123 Smith Road)
Even-numbered addresses irrigate on even calendar days (example: 124 Smith Road)
Each home has a specific irrigation time window when your system should run
All irrigation users should work toward maintaining a highly efficient irrigation system and consider a water audit with upgrades by a qualified irrigation contractor

Ensure your timer is programmed with the correct days and time for your address
Start your timers to begin operating on Monday, April 20th
Setting your irrigation timer
To help your landscape stay healthy while keeping our system running efficiently, we request the following starting points:
Conventional spray heads: 10–15 minutes per zone
Turf rotor sprinklers (larger turf areas): 30–40 minutes per zone
Drip systems: Drip systems are highly efficient and should be scheduled based on the specific needs of your plants and soil conditions.
Important: Please run drip irrigation separately from spray or rotor zones.
These run times are recommended starting points. You may need to make small adjustments depending on your landscape, sun exposure, and weather conditions.

Reliable Irrigation Water Starts with a Stronger Source
As you may know, we previously sourced our irrigation water from Arnold Irrigation District, which led to water restrictions due to drought conditions. Beginning in 2025, we’ve switched to supplying irrigation water from a groundwater aquifer, which provides a more reliable, dependable water source that reduces the risk of shutdowns or flow reductions.
By adhering to your water window schedule, you can help spread demand more evenly across the system and protect our long-term supply to ensure consistent water availability for everyone.
Efficient irrigation is an important part of protecting our shared water resource.
While our transition to groundwater provides a more reliable supply, it also comes with a responsibility to use that water thoughtfully.
The most effective landscapes are not the ones that use the most water. They are the ones that use water efficiently and intentionally. Proper scheduling, well-maintained systems, and thoughtful plant selection all play a role in reducing waste while keeping landscapes healthy.
We encourage all customers to take an active role in understanding their irrigation systems and exploring opportunities for improvement. Simple adjustments such as checking for leaks, optimizing sprinkler coverage, updating timers, or adjusting for seasonal conditions can significantly improve efficiency and overall performance.
Efficient irrigation keeps our system strong for everyone.
Small changes across the community add up. By making informed decisions about how water is applied, we can collectively support long-term sustainability while maintaining the landscapes that make our community special.
