Please Water Only

As-Needed

Please Turn Off Your Irrigation Controller

Our soils are still a bit moist from rainfall that occurred earlier in the month. No supplemental water is needed for most plants.

Additional rain events will likely arrive again soon and should provide much, if not all, the water our plants will need for some time to come.

We ask that you only water as-needed manually or semi-automatically until longer days and warm weather returns.

When irrigation is required, use our Landscape Watering Guide to determine the proper frequency and duration needed.

Rainwater Catchment Incentives

Rainwater catchment systems are a great way to offset your water consumption and have the potential to decrease your water bill. These systems harvest rainwater run-off from the roof using the gutter system to collect water in a barrel and use for irrigation purposes.

Marina gets an average of 17 inches of rain per year. Utilizing a 1,500 square foot roof in Marina would yield approximately 15,938 gallons of water!

All landscape incentive projects must be preapproved by the District before work may proceed. If not preapproved, the project will not be eligible for the incentive.
