Sacramento's Winter Watering Schedule Is in Effect: One Day a Week, Saturday or Sunday Only
The City of Sacramento, in Sacramento County, California, is reminding residents that its fall and winter watering schedule took effect on November 1, reducing outdoor sprinkler watering to just one day per week. Under the schedule, residents and businesses can water their landscapes once a week, on either Saturday or Sunday, at any time of day — but not both days. Weekday sprinkler watering is not permitted.
The schedule remains in effect through February 28, 2027. William Granger, the city's water conservation manager, said reducing sprinkler use helps conserve water, prevent unnecessary runoff and potentially lower water bills.
The city advises residents to check their sprinkler timers and adjust them to the new schedule, and to give sprinklers a break during and after rainfall. With shorter days, cooler temperatures and minimal evaporation in late fall and winter, landscapes need far less water, and the city encourages residents to water only when plants actually need it.
