November 18, 2009 - Each week the Tampa Water Department posts a different water conservation "Tip of the Week" to help you reduce your water use and conserve our limited water resources.
Tip #53: Only water your lawn on your irrigation day when it is needed. You can tell this by simply walking across your lawn. If you leave footprints, it's time to water. Following rain events it may be possible to “skip a week” if your yard has received between ½” to ¾” of water.
