As temperatures cool and rainy weather returns, the City of Sacramento is moving to its fall and winter watering schedule. Sprinkler watering drops to one day per week.
Residents and businesses may water landscapes on either Saturday or Sunday, at any time of day. Weekday sprinkler watering is not permitted.

Pick one weekend day and update your automatic irrigation system for the season.
If rainfall is giving your landscape enough moisture, you may not need to water at all. The city says cutting sprinkler use conserves water, prevents runoff and may lower water bills.
"During the cooler fall and winter months, lawns and plants typically need less water to stay healthy," said William Granger, the City's water conservation manager.

The city says shorter days, lower temperatures and seasonal rainfall mean landscapes can often thrive with little or no supplemental watering.
