Spring
Turn on the sprinklers and drip. 
Check
for any leaks or cracks in the hoses. Adjust watering times according
to the Washoe ET website.
Early and mid summer
This will be the time to water more. 
Grass and plants need the extra water with the increasing temperatures.
Check the Washoe E.T. website and adjust your timer accordingly.
Late summer and fall
This will be the time to start slowly decreasing your watering
time. 
Grass and plants do not need as much water with the cooler temperatures
and shorter daylight hours.
Late fall and early winter
Time to shut down and winterize your irrigation
system. 
Drain the system so the water doesn't freeze and crack the hoses.
