With almost 2 inches of rain this past week, controllers should remain off. Barring a flash drought, it’s possible that we may be able to leave them off for the remainder of the year. I have turned off all common areas, and plan to irrigate manually only the new sod and plant areas on an as needed basis.
If you would like assistance with your landscape irrigation system, the Water Matters Team is available to help familiarize you with it. If you need help setting up your controller, or would like a complete and thorough evaluation of your irrigation system, send an email to WaterMatters@SCTexas.org , or contact your Neighborhood Representative. A Water Matters Ambassador will come to your home to assist you.
