San Diego County Watering Information
What Time of Day Should I Water?
In San Diego County, we recommend watering between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. Watering within this window of time takes advantage of relatively low winds and less loss of water to evaporation.
How Long Should I Water?
Precise watering times vary depending on the type of watering device, soil, slope and plants. Keep in mind with clay soils, running an irrigation system on a lawn for more than five minutes will generally result in runoff.
How Often Should I Water?
Review any local regulations governing irrigation practices. Your city may have adopted restrictions on the duration and frequency of irrigation events.
