Summer water tip from EPA
Water wisely: A large percentage of water we use at home is used outdoors. As much as 30 percent of that outdoor water use can be wasted due to evaporation by watering in the middle of the day. Water in the morning when winds are calm and temperatures are cool. Look for the new WaterSense-labeled weather-based irrigation controller that uses local weather data to determine whether your sprinkler system should turn on.
