A small sprinkler adjustment can make a big difference. When irrigation water lands on sidewalks, walls, or driveways instead of on your lawn or garden, it runs off into the stormwater system. To help conserve water and improve efficiency: ➡️ Adjust sprinklers so they only target landscaped areas. ➡️ Aim for head‑to‑head coverage, so each sprinkler reaches the next. ➡️ Check water pressure to reduce misting and overspray, which can occur when pressure is too high.
