LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – The City\u2019s Spring and Summer irrigation restrictions are effective Wednesday, April 1, and continue through Wednesday, September 30. <\/p>\n
Spring & Summer Irrigation Recommendations<\/p>\n
For proper hydration, lawns only need 1.5 inches of water per zone, per week. \u00a0This can be achieved with a watering cycle of 12 to 15 minutes.To prevent evaporation, it is recommended to irrigate between the hours of 12:00 a.m. \u2013 10:00 a.m.; or 6:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. on assigned watering days.To prevent runoff, use the cycle & soak method. Watering for 3-4 minutes, 4-5 times, allows the water to soak in the soil.\u00a0 This prevents water from running off, encourages roots to grow deeper, and conserves water.If you have a professional landscaper, verify the irrigation system is not overwatering and review the scheduled watering times.<\/p>\n
Year-Round Restrictions<\/p>\n
Irrigate landscape only during your two assigned days per week.Irrigation schedules are based on the last digit of the house address:<\/p>\n

Addresses ending in 2, 7, or 8 \u2013 Wednesday and Saturday<\/p>\n
