To conserve water, please adjust all irrigation clocks to the days and times permitted for your assigned watering group. The assigned watering groups are mandatory for all water customers.

 Bilingual Water Group (1)

In addition to watering on your assigned days, keep in mind the following when scheduling your irrigation clock:

  • From May 1 through Aug. 31, landscape watering is prohibited from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Sprinkler watering is prohibited on Sundays.
  • Watering restrictions also apply to drip irrigation.
  • Watering with a handheld hose and supervised testing of your irrigation system are allowed at any time.
  • Watering new or reseeded landscapes daily for up to 30 days is allowed once per calendar year. Call (702) 633-1216 before the planting takes place so we can make note of this on your water account. 
  • For lawns, use the cycle-and-soak method. On your assigned watering days, water in three 4-minute cycles, with about an hour in between each cycle if using pop-up sprinklers. Water for about 12 minutes each cycle if using rotating sprinkler heads.  
  • Don't water on windy or rainy days. Winds can send sprinkler water in unintended directions, saturating the sidewalk more than the lawn. Watering during rainy periods can cause soil oversaturation and wasteful runoff.
  • Don't forget to set your irrigation clock in accordance with time changes! Daylight savings begins at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March; set your clocks one hour ahead. The standard time change is at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November; set your clocks one hour behind.

Watering on days other than assigned watering days or during restricted hours is considered water waste and may result in a notice of violation and/or a fine assessed to your monthly water bill.
