Your lawns and plants are now officially taking a break from growing. If you haven’t done it already, November is the time to turn off and winterize your irrigation system, especially with lawns and plants going into seasonal dormancy. The turf and plants in your yard will not need watering until spring.

TMWA usually recommends turning your sprinklers off no later than Nevada Day (or Halloween), depending on weather conditions. Don’t forget to disconnect and drain all outdoor hoses, as well. Here’s a short video to guide you through the process of shutting down your sprinkler system at tmwa.com/howto.
