Colorado Springs Water-Wise Scheduling: Three Days, Cooler Hours, No Runoff is a Front Range decision guide for Colorado Springs property owners. It ties the next step to verified local water, soil, season and plant context while leaving uninspected conditions explicitly unresolved.
Pick no more than three days
Colorado Springs Utilities lets the customer choose up to three watering days each Sunday-to-Saturday week. The schedule should be built around plant response and zone performance rather than copying a neighbor's days.
Move summer watering out of the hot window
From May 1 through October 15, watering belongs before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. Put that boundary into the controller first so later runtime decisions cannot create a time-of-day violation.
Stop runoff before adding duration
Water may not pool on hard surfaces or flow down gutters. Short cycles, corrected heads and soil infiltration work are better responses than letting one long cycle escape the landscape.
Put leaking zones on a ten-day clock
The utility rule calls for leaking sprinkler systems to be repaired within ten days. Date the observation, isolate the component and retain the repair note with the controller record.
Front Range field record for this irrigation
Build the Colorado Springs field record from elevation, slope, exposure and irrigation performance. Mark hard-surface runoff, compacted areas, shaded snow-retention pockets and any lawn above the 7,000-foot warm-season boundary. Note which three watering days were chosen and whether every station can operate before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. during the summer rule period. A Front Range recommendation should be traceable to those observations, not to a citywide assumption about soil, hardiness zone or grass type. For this irrigation page, circle the observation that would change the next decision and name who will verify it.
Retain elevation, runoff, compaction and controller evidence with the Front Range proposal so later work can be traced to the condition that justified it. For this irrigation decision, the current authority and photographed property condition control.
