Summer in Santa Clarita means more sunshine, longer days—and higher outdoor water use. Did you know that up to 70% of household water use happens outdoors during these hot months? The good news: a few simple adjustments can help you keep your garden looking great while saving water and money.
Here are our top tips for watering wisely this season:
✅ Water early or late:
Water before 9 a.m. or after 8 p.m. to reduce evaporation and help moisture reach the roots where plants need it most.
✅ Check your irrigation system:
Look for broken sprinklers, clogged drip emitters, or overspray onto sidewalks and driveways. Even small leaks can waste hundreds of gallons.
✅ Mulch, mulch, mulch:
Adding a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around plants helps soil retain moisture, keeps roots cool and minimizes weeds that compete for water.
✅ Get smart about watering:
Consider upgrading to a weather-based irrigation controller. It automatically adjusts watering based on local weather and soil conditions—saving time and water.
