Water Budget Rates

How are my rates determined? Your water budget rates are determined using your indoor water use, based on the number of occupants at your residence, and outdoor water use, based on the size of your landscape. Efficient use levels have been established for each component, making tiers one and two of your water budget. Learn more about how your water budget is calculated.

Irrigation Guidelines

Most lawns, including traditional ones, require only slight adjustments to irrigation, even during extreme heat. To maximize your watering efforts, follow Western Water's irrigation scheduling guidelines and use water more efficiently. You could reduce water use by up to 30% just by regularly checking your system for leaks, making quick repairs, and adjusting your schedule seasonally. Regular maintenance is key, and our irrigation maintenance checklist makes it easy to stay on track.
