What are the seasonal guidelines for water usage?

Anaheim Public Utilities provides guidelines for water usage that help ensure responsible consumption and conservation, particularly during the drier months. Seasonal water usage guidelines typically emphasize the need to adjust lawn watering schedules according to the weather conditions, landscape needs, and local regulations. During the cooler months, such as late fall and winter, water consumption can often be reduced since natural precipitation may provide adequate moisture for landscapes. In these periods, residents are encouraged to limit outdoor watering to once every two weeks or as required by individual lawn conditions. As spring approaches and temperatures rise, the need for water increases, and it is recommended to transition to a weekly watering schedule. During the hot summer months, outdoor watering may be necessary two or even three times per week, depending on heat and drought conditions. Anaheim Public Utilities also provides resources and tools, like the use of water-efficient irrigation systems or drought-resistant plants, to help residents manage their water usage effectively. For accurate and updated guidelines tailored to specific situations, individuals can refer to the seasonal water usage information available on the Anaheim Public Utilities website.
