"During the month of September you can go from extreme heat to cooler temperatures tem-peratures quite rapidly, sometimes within a few weeks," says Division of Water Resources Director and Governor's Water Conservation Team member Larry Anderson. "And when the weather cools lawns don't need to be watered as much as they did during the warm months of June, July and August." The Governor's Water Conservation Team recommends recom-mends those living in Northern and Central Utah water no more than once every six days. And for those living in Southern Utah it is recommended they water no more than once every five days. These are general guidelines that depend on the soil types, plants and shrubs in the yard. Another way to gauge how much water a landscape needs is to turn the sprinkler system completely off and then only Orem's finest honored at 25th Annual Watkins Awards Orem's finest will be honored at the 25th annual annu-al Senator Arthur V.

This is especially espe-cially significant considering consider-ing Utah had the hottest July on record. Statewide water consumption is significantly signif-icantly down and this is evident evi-dent throughout Utah neighborhoods. Utahns typically typ-ically waste the most water on their landscapes by applying about twice as much as water as necessary. Usually around 50 inches when most lawns only need 30 inches. "We've noticed that homeowners are learning to live with brown spots in their lawns and we are seeing see-ing more people incorporate water-wise techniques in their yards," says Anderson. "This is one indication that people are not only beginning to understand that we live in a desert but they are beginning to understand how valuable water is here."
