Calculating your irrigation water use

Regular checkups for your irrigation system are vital for optimal performance and greater water savings. Here are some resources to help you learn the basics.

How much water are you using when you use the sprinkler system?

Usage can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including type of system, type and number of spray heads, water pressure, size of lot, how often and how long it runs, etc.

No matter what your system looks like, outdoor water use can make up 50 percent or more of your monthly water bill, especially during the very hot dry summer months.

Understanding how much water your system uses each time it runs can help you adjust your watering schedule and take the surprise out of the bill each month.
