ARCADIA’S WINTER WATERING SCHEDULE 
TAKES EFFECT IN NOVEMBER 

October 17, 2017 –Starting on November 1 throughApril 30, the allowed outdoor irrigation days areTuesdays and Saturdays before 9:00 a.m. and after

6:00 p.m.
The best time to irrigate your lawn is early morningor late evening. Avoid irrigating your lawn duringthe middle of the day through the late afternoonwhen heat and evaporation are at their highest. Ifyou find your trees, flowers, or shrubs still thirsty,
