EWEB's Weather Station provides Weekly Watering Recommendations based on rainfall and other data, usally from May or June through September. Rainbow will repost this information on our Facebook page and website.

Watering recommendation for: August 14-20, 2026

Water your lawn and flowers: 1.23 inches for the week

If your lawn has deep roots split this into two watering days with 0.61 inches/watering.

If your lawn has shallow roots split this into three watering days with 0.41 inches/watering.

Tip of the week:

Avoid over-watering! Too much water can be as problematic as not enough. Plants will begin to rot and their leaf edges will become discolored if they overfed. You can stick your finger about 1” deep into the soil and determine whether it’s moist or dry if you are unsure.

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Watering Gauge

We are no longer providing "Green Grass" watering gauges, but you can always make one yourself. Watch a short video about making a DIY Green Grass Gauge here, then grab a tuna can and print out some test strips to get started!
