*Tips for Summer Watering*

The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) reminds
everyone that despite the recent rain, we remain in extreme drought and
should irrigate our yards, trees, and flowers with care.

·       Follow the “Water by the Numbers” program and water your turf and
plants just three times per week in June, July and August. Trees appreciate
a deep watering every two to three weeks during the summer.

·       If it rains, count that as one of your watering days and shut off
automatic sprinkler systems when it rains. You can also install a Smart
Irrigation Controller.

·       Do not water or use your sprinkler between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Water early in the morning or in the later evening to reduce water loss to
wind and evaporation.

·       Troubleshoot your sprinkler system for leaks, broken heads and
emitters, and poorly angled/aimed heads. A broken sprinkler head can waste
as much as 16 gallons of water per minute – and irrigation water should
never end up in the street or on others’ property.

·       Consider replacing thirsty turf with xeriscaping.  There are
hundreds of regionally adapted plants, trees and shrubs that can fill your
yard with color while saving you money on water.
