Kyle Canyon Conservation Measures

Use a hose with a shut-off nozzle.

The Kyle Canyon Water District implemented proactive conservation measures to help protect the water supply in Kyle Canyon. Residents are required to follow a mandatory watering schedule and other measures outlined in the Water Management Plan.

Time-of-day Restrictions

Spray irrigation is prohibited between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. in July and August.

Weekend and Hand Watering

Demands on the watering system are higher on weekends than during mid-week, which increases the potential for a well failure. To help ensure basic water needs are met, follow these hand-watering measures:

• Use a positive shut-off spray nozzle that is manually controlled at all times. No unattended watering (i.e. running a hose or sprinkler attachment).
• Hand watering is allowed during the week days at any time of the day.
• Limit hand watering to one day on the weekends (either Saturday or Sunday).
• Do not water (hand or irrigation) during emergency operating conditions.

Irrigation Timers

Irrigation clock timers help make your landscape watering more efficient. Customers are required to equip irrigation systems with an irrigation clock.

• Set timers for a maximum watering time of 15 minutes per area.
• Manually reset timers in 15-minute increments if additional water is necessary. Total water time may not exceed 30 minutes.
• Watering duration may vary depending on the type of sprinkler used. Most subsurface and hose attachment sprinklers produce high water flows, which can significantly reduce the watering time needed. Oscillating or fan sprinklers are less efficient and may require the maximum watering duration.
• Irrigation timers for both hose attachment sprinklers and underground irrigation systems are available at local nurseries and home improvement stores.

Vehicle, Surface and Equipment Washing

Under Concerned Operating Conditions, customers may wash personal vehicles once per week with a hose equipped with a positive shut-off nozzle. Personal vehicle, surface, building and equipment washing is prohibited under Critical and Emergency Conditions. Water must not flow from the property for longer than five minutes.
