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

Watering recommendation for: September 4-10, 2026

Water your lawn and flowers: 0.07 inches for the week

If your lawn has deep roots split this into two watering days with 0.035 inches/watering.

If your lawn has shallow roots split this into three watering days with 0.023 inches/watering.

Tip of the week:

Leave your DIY Green Grass Gauge out in the rain to see how much free rainwater was applied to your yard and garden. Depending on how much rain has fallen, you may still need to apply additional water with your sprinklers.

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!
