Conserve Today. Protect Tomorrow.
Water is a shared resource, and in the South Bainbridge Water System, every drop matters, especially during the warmer months when demand is at its highest. To help ensure system reliability, we ask customers to follow the seasonal outdoor watering schedule and take simple steps to use water wisely.
Conservation isn’t about cutting back. It’s about being intentional. Small changes at home, in your yard, or on your property can make a big difference in maintaining reliable water pressure for your neighbors and reducing strain on system infrastructure. It’s a simple way to support your community and protect a shared resource.
On this page, you’ll find practical tips and tools to help you stay within the watering schedule while keeping your landscape healthy. Whether you’re maintaining a garden, caring for a hobby farm, or just looking to reduce water use, we’re here to help you make the most of every drop.
Follow the Outdoor Watering Schedule
Our seasonal watering schedule is designed to reduce peak demand on the system and help maintain consistent water pressure for all customers.
- Water only on your assigned days
- Water during early morning or evening hours to reduce evaporation
- Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day
- Set timers or reminders to stay on track
Sticking to the schedule is one of the most effective ways to support the system during high-demand months.
