*Tips for Summer Watering*
<https://cabq.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b697b563bdb0acc3e117a1409&id=2f1f2ae040&e=648f2ff06c>
The
Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) reminds
everyone about summer watering, even in late summer, and offers tips on how
to irrigate our yards, trees, and flowers:

   - Follow the “Water by the Numbers” program and water your turf and
   plants just three times per week in summer months. 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.

water use!
