Summer Tips
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: June 19-25, 2026
Water your lawn and flowers: 1.57 inches for the week
If your lawn has deep roots split this into two watering days with 0.79 inches/watering.
If your lawn has shallow roots split this into three watering days with 0.52 inches/watering.
Tip of the week:
Use a hose nozzle with automated shut-off to minimize water usage and excessive run-off when washing your car. You can also place the car where run-off will water the lawn or flowerbeds to minimize storm water pollution and give your yard a drink. If your kids love to cool off in the sprinklers, have them play in the area of your yard where the water will be most useful.
