Here are tips to work with Southern Nevada’s winter watering restrictions

Winter is right around the corner— so it’s time for Southern Nevada residents and businesses to change their landscape irrigation clocks to water only on their one assigned watering day per week in accordance with the community’s mandatory seasonal watering schedule.

Sunday watering is prohibited year-round . Watering on days other than your assigned day or allowing water to spray or flow off your property is considered water waste and may result in hefty water-waste fees starting at $80 and increasing for repeat violations.

To maximize water savings and manage monthly water bills :

  • Water mid-morning to avoid freezing and prevent ice from forming on lawns and sidewalks.
  • Adjust your irrigation clock to coincide with the end of Daylight-Saving Time at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 3.
  • Set your drip system to water plants and trees once a week or less as they need much less water than grass.

Additionally, single-family homeowners can save even more water and reduce monthly bills by converting grass to water-efficient landscaping.
