More Ways SAWS Can Help
Just a little SIP
For personalized landscape watering advice, you may want to sign up for our WaterSaver e-newsletter. Every issue features advice from local horticulture experts on what to plant, when to fertilize and how to attract wildlife to your landscape.
Annual Irrigation Check-Up
Have a free Irrigation Check-Up from SAWS annually. Irrigation
systems need constant maintenance. Keep yours set to manual and
use sparingly. Keep an eye on maintaining the system and learn
how to use your controller. Call the Conservation Department at
704-SAVE for an appointment.
