Overwatering in winter can encourage pests and disease. With recent rainfall and

cooler temperatures this week, the Southwest Florida Water Management District is remind-

ing residents who irrigate their lawns to "Skip a Week" or more of watering during the

cooler months of January and February.

According to research by the University of Florida, grass doesn t need to be wa-

tered as often during the cooler months. One-half to three-quarters of an inch of water every

1014 days is sufficient. In fact, if your lawn has received any significant rainfall, then you

can turn off your irrigation system and operate it manually as needed.

"Overwatering can encourage pests and disease in your lawn," said Robin

Grantham, water conservation coordinator. "Too much irrigation can also make lawns less

able to survive droughts." Skipping a week of watering is as easy as "off" for residents with

irrigation timers. "Turn the timer to `off for the week that you want to skip, and `on for the

week that you want to water," said Grantham.

If everyone skipped one week of irrigation this season, it could save an estimated

1.9 billion gallons of water.
