Water Conservation

Sprinklers can use up to 13 gallons of water per minute. Make sure to set the timer to saturate the soil without getting runoff. Watering at night will also help to conserve water so consider adjusting your watering schedule.

The easiest way to reduce water use is by introducing xeriscaping into your garden. A combination of drought-resistant plants and rocks can reduce water use by 50 to 75 percent!

Collected rainwater is great for watering plants. If you're worried about mosquitos growing in the water bin, place a small amount of soap in the water. This will not hurt your plants and will prevent bugs from hatching.

Stage 3 Mandatory Water Conservation is currently in effect, meaning we need all residents to follow the watering schedule. Please follow the following schedule to help Laredo conserve water.
