The system is pressurized and operating.

New Odd / Even Irrigation Schedule Starting April 20th

Roats Water System is pleased to announce an improvement in how we deliver irrigation water to our patrons. Starting Monday, April 20th, we are moving to a new schedule designed to provide more consistent irrigation water delivery.

For this approach to be successful, it is important that all customers follow the assigned schedule.

What you need to know

  • We are adopting an odd / even schedule

  • Odd-number addresses will irrigate on odd calendar days (example: 123 Smith Road)

  • Even-numbered addresses will 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

Next steps

  • Find your HOA listed below to locate your address and irrigation water window time

  • Program your timer 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.
