Mandatory Outdoor Water Use Schedule

Although these are the days you are allowed to water, we strongly encourage you to only water when your grass or plants need water. When the ground is moist from low temperatures or previous rain, it is not necessary to water as much as the schedule allows. The most common turf in Patterson only requires one to two inches of water a week. To measure how long you should set your timers, place a clear cup within your sprinkler's spray range, turn on the sprinklers, and record how long it takes to fill the cup to the desired height. This is how long you should set your sprinklers throughout the week. If you need assistance with the adjustment of your sprinklers, please call the Public Works Department at (209) 895-8060.
