Environmental Services
Yard Care During Warm Weather
Follow these best practices to maintain your landscape in warmer weather while also conserving water.
- Water less: reduce the number of watering days per week and/or reduce the minutes of watering per day.
- "Cycle and soak" method: split your watering time into two cycles spaced about an hour apart - with a 15-minute total maximum time - to allow the water to soak in, reducing runoff and water waste.
- Check sprinkler heads: repair broken, crooked, or sunken heads and clogged nozzles.
- Adjust mow height: taller grass blades promote deeper roots and will shade the soil, resulting in less evaporation.

Unwinding and Returning to Regular Operations after COVID-19
During the pandemic, annual Medicaid renewals happened automatically without an eligibility review. However, annual renewals are no longer automatic. States can resume Medicaid and CHIP eligibility reviews that they temporarily stopped during the pandemic. When States resume these reviews, many people could lose their current Medicaid or CHIP coverage.
