Town of Elizabeth Landscape Irrigation
It is as easy as mow, water, weed, repeat, right? Taking a couple of extra steps, checking for leaks and having the right equipment can reduce your maintenance time and provide a healthier and more vibrant landscape
Maintenance
Periodically, check for leaks in your irrigation system. Look for wet spots, water run-off, small holes or depressions in the ground as this may indicate an underground irrigation leak or overwatering.
Check your sprinkler system frequently (at least monthly during irrigation season) for broken or misaligned equipment to ensure you are watering your lawn and not the house, sidewalk or street.
Watering / Irrigating
Water when it is cool and calm. Water early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler and the wind is calmer. During Irrigation season (May-September), the Town urges not to water during the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Watering when it is cool and calm reduces evaporation, potentially saving 25 gallons, or 20 percent, each time you water.
Contact your Public Works Department if you believe you may have a leak or would like assistance in determining if you are over watering your landscape.
