Sacramento CA watering schedule: Here’s what changes in March
With warmer temperatures on the horizon, the city of Sacramento is switching to a new watering schedule. The spring and summer watering schedule, which governs how residents irrigate their lawns and landscaping during the hotter months, goes into effect on March 1 and runs through Oct. 31. Here’s what you need to know about the change. From Nov. 1 to Feb 28, watering guidelines in Sacramento allow residents to turn on their sprinklers one day per week, on either Saturday or Sunday. On March 1, Sacramento will add an additional day to its weekly watering schedule — allowing residents to use sprinklers two days a week instead of one. On those days automatic sprinklers can be used for irrigation before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m.
