Watering Tips for Worcester
Worcester gets about 48 inches of rain per year. During a typical summer, rainfall covers roughly half of your lawn's water needs. Reduce your schedule after any soaking rain of 0.5 inches or more.
Clay soils are common in parts of Worcester County. If you see runoff before your timer finishes, split the session into two shorter cycles with a 30-minute break between them.
