LANDSCAPE TIPS
The Bay Area, like only 2 percent of the world, has a Mediterranean climate. This means that we have cool, wet winters and summer droughts.

Thus, it is important to have landscaping that uses drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation, and employs other water-saving methods.

CCWD has a water efficient Demonstration Garden that you can visit to see how plants grow using 50 percent less water than a comparable lawn.

Conservation Tip: Water your lawn using several short cycles rather than one long run runtime. This will result in more water reaching the roots and less water running off the lawn. For example: instead of watering for 12 minutes, one time at 6 a.m. set the schedule to water for six minutes at 5 a.m. and again for six minutes at 7 a.m
