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: July 31-August 6, 2026

Water your lawn and flowers: 1.15 inches for the week

If your lawn has deep roots split this into two watering days with 0.57 inches/watering.

If your lawn has shallow roots split this into three watering days with 0.38 inches/watering.

Tip of the week:

Do you have a weather-based sprinkler controller installed on your irrigation system? This can be very helpful to conserve water and give your yard and garden exactly the right amount of water. Make sure you purchase a sprinkler controller with an EPA WaterSense label, verify your irrigation system has an approved backflow prevention assembly, and make sure to have the irrigation and backflow tested regularly.

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!
