Applicable year-round water conservation measures:

Insecticides, herbicides, other pesticides, and fertilizers sometimes need to be watered-in.

The district's year-round water conservation measures recognized the importance of following a manufacture's instructions and any applicable local, state, or federal law.

Although some lawn chemicals need to be watered in immediately, others can wait several days. Each user should read and follow the product label carefully.
The following year-round water conservation measures apply to watering-in of chemicals:
o In the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, water-in chemical with only one-quarter inch of water, not a complete irrigation application. This will ensure that the chemical is activated, but not washed away.
o People applying their own chemicals should plan the application to take advantage of normally allowable watering days and times.
" If a lawn care or pest control professional is applying chemicals for a property owner, the chemicals may be watered-in during otherwise restricted times. The professional applicator must install a temporary sign indicating the date of application and the date(s) of needed watering-in activity.

If you have any questions about how these year-round water conservation measures apply to your facility, please feel free to call 1-800-423-1476 ext 4498, during normal business hours.
