Even with a few cooler days and occasional spring showers, San Antonio is still very much in drought. Edwards Aquifer levels remain lower than normal, which means we all need to stay mindful of how we’re using water day to day — especially since Stage 3 watering rules are still in effect.
Outdoor watering is the biggest demand, so sticking to once-a-week watering and avoiding irrigation during the heat of the day really helps. It’s also a good time to check your sprinkler system for water-wasting leaks, overspray or broken heads.
SAWS offers a variety of conservation programs and rebates, including WaterSaver Landscape Coupons, for drought-tolerant plants that look great and use far less water than a traditional lawn. Get details at GardenStyleSA.com/coupons.
Need inspiration? Our newly updated Landscape Care Guide at GardenStyleSA.com/guide can help you create a drought-hardy oasis without sacrificing comfort or curb appeal.
As the drought continues, every bit of conservation helps protect our shared water supply — to keep San Antonio resilient through the hot months ahead.
