Winter means water conservation?

Winter means water conservation? Sunny and warm, highs in the 70’s? Tempted to crank on that sprinkler system as if it’s summertime? For the sake of your lawn, your water bill, and our local reservoirs - please reconsider. Despite the recent stretch of warm, dry weather, it is still winter and the days are short. With 70 percent of plants’ water needs driven simply by solar radiation, short winter days mean dormant plants. Their thirst can be quenched with even limited rains. The City of Napa Water Division encourages its customers to embrace water-wise landscaping and irrigation principles.
