Our staff will investigate every report and provide technical assistance, as needed. Thank you for helping Coachella Valley residents reduce water waste.
In the Ask CVWD series, conservation experts explain ways to reduce water waste, check your meter, program your smart controller, apply for rebates, and check for leaks.
We've provided a table showing the approximate amount of water different types of landscaping typically need each month. Individual watering times may vary due to soil and other conditions.
Desert gardens can be lush and efficient. Contrary to the image of a desert landscape consisting only of cacti, boulders and gravel, many native and introduced dry-climate trees, shrubs, vines, ground covers and perennials have lush foliage, distinctive forms and showy flowers.
Customers are encouraged not to overseed to avoid paying higher water rates. If you choose to overseed, please follow our Overseeding Without Wasting Guidelines.
