Monthly Lawn Watering Guide

April 10, 2023

A typical Utah lawn has a water demand curve that begins in mid-April, rises to a peak in July, and then falls rapidly until mid-October. Adjusting your timer monthly to better follow this demand curve will save water. An easy way to do this is keep the minutes constant and increase or decrease the number of days between watering’s as shown below.  (Information provided by Utah Division of Water Resources)

MARCH No Irrigation Recommended	APRIL No Irrigation Recommended	MAY 21 minutes every 4 days	JUNE 21 minutes every 3 days
JULY 21 minutes every 3 days	AUGUST 21 minutes every 3 days	SEPTEMBER 21 minutes every 6 days	OCTOBER No Irrigation Recommended

The City of Cedar Hills encourages residents to implement water conservation practices as we begin another watering season.  More water is not always better for your lawn.  There are many resources available to help accomplish a great looking lawn and still conserve.  Visit www.conservewater.utah.gov for great information about water-wise plants for Utah, landscape product rebates, and how to get a FREE water check.  Water is not a renewable resource, so please do your part to use it wisely!
