Power outages and dead battery backups may mean your irrigation controller needs to be reprogrammed.
If your power has gone out recently or your irrigation controller backup battery was dead, your system may have reverted to a schedule that includes more water use and more watering days than you had scheduled before.

Check your controller today, replace the battery, make sure your rain-freeze sensor is still working, and finally, review the year-round time-of-day and day-of-week outdoor water usage restrictions by clicking here.
