BERNALILLO COUNTY IS AMONG COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE WITH SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS. THE WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY IS NOW OFFERING WAYS TO DIMINISH THE IMPACT OF DRY WEATHER.
WATER ONCE A MONTH THROUGH FEBRUARY TO KEEP EVEN DORMANT PLANTS THRIVING THIS WINTER. RAMP UP WATERING IN MARCH, FOLLOWING THE “WATER BY THE NUMBERS” PROGRAM. WATER TWICE A WEEK IN APRIL AND MAY AND THREE TIMES A WEEK AFTER THAT. BE MINDFUL OF WASTEFUL PRACTICES, LIKE OVER-WATERING. IF YOU HAVE HIGH-WATER PLANTS, CONSIDER REPLACING THEM WITH THE LOW-WATER VARIETIES.
AND CHECK YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM FOR LEAKS AND BROKEN HEADS.
