Up to 75 percent of the water used on a residential property goes toward maintaining outdoor landscape, according to the city. As such, residents are encouraged to only water their yards up to three days a week, use efficient and well-maintained sprinklers, install water-wise plants and consider alternative, sustainable methods of watering.
