Time to update your irrigation schedule

Do you still have your irrigation schedule set the same as it was this summer?   As the temperatures cool off, your landscape doesn't require the same amount of watering as it did at the peak of the summer.  In fact, Preferred recommend's adjusting your settings monthly for the most efficient irrigation.

The following is a chart we use as guidelines for sprinkler adjustments:
 

Seasonal Adjust*
23%	January
31%	February
55%	March
68%	April
66%	May
80%	June
100%	July
97%	August
61%	September
40%	October
26%	November
21%	December

*Monthly Seasonal Adjustments based on 60% effective rainfall

Another note on irrigation, despite the wonderful wet weather we had the last few weeks, San Antonio is still under Stage 2 water restrictions.  The following chart is from http://www.saws.org/:

Landscape Watering Watering with an irrigation system or sprinkler is allowed only once a week from 3-8 a.m. and 8-10 p.m. on your designated watering day as determined by your address:
