Water Smart Holiday Checklist

There's just one rule of thumb for your irrigation in the Wet season - turn it off when it rains.

Everyone needs to play their part to be water smart. You can help this Wet.  If you are going away:

  • Reduce or turn off your irrigation schedule and let nature do the watering!

  • Ask a neighbour or house sitter to turn off your irrigation when it rains.

  • If you’re only going away for a week, consider if your plants will survive and turn off your irrigation or just schedule for once that week.
