Read the Ordinance
Restrictions vary by street, water district, and drought stage. Capture the exact allowed days and hours in writing for HOAs.
Controller Tools
Use non-watering days, program copies, and seasonal adjust to stay compliant without rebuilding schedules weekly.
Exemptions
New plantings sometimes qualify for temporary variances—document start and end dates.
Enforcement Reality
Fines can be steep—add signage for maintenance crews so they do not override compliance windows accidentally.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my smart controller wants to water on off days?
Lock non-water days and let ET adjust within allowed windows.
Do drip count the same as sprays?
Check rules—some districts treat drip separately.
