As the drought in Provo, UT continues, it is important to be mindful of our water usage. One way to conserve water and still maintain a healthy lawn is by setting a sprinkler timer. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

• Purchase a sprinkler timer. These can be found at most home improvement stores or online.
• Install the timer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically involves attaching the timer to your outdoor faucet and       connecting the sprinkler system to the timer.
• Set the timer according to the schedule recommended by the Provo City Water Conservation Office. Currently, the city recommends   watering your lawn on odd-numbered days only, before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. to minimize evaporation.
• Test the timer by manually turning on the sprinkler system and confirming that it turns off at the designated time.
• Adjust the duration of the watering cycle as needed. To conserve water, it’s best to water for shorter periods of time but more frequently.
• Check your sprinkler system regularly to ensure that it is working properly and that there are no leaks.

By following these steps, you can help conserve water during the drought while still maintaining a healthy lawn. Additionally, it’s also important to check for any sprinkler heads that may be misaligned or blocked by debris, as this can cause water to be wasted in areas where it’s not needed.

It’s also worth noting that during a drought, it’s best to focus on watering the lawn only when it’s necessary. One way to tell if your lawn needs water is by checking the soil. If it feels dry to the touch, it’s time to water. Also, it’s always good to check your local weather forecast, if it’s raining, then you can skip watering that day.

Overall, setting a sprinkler timer is an easy and effective way to conserve water during the drought in Provo, UT. By following the recommended schedule and making adjustments as needed, you can help keep your lawn healthy while doing your part to conserve a precious resource.
