Fall Back in October
Elsinore Eddie’s monthly Water Budget Allocation is based on the water needs of plants throughout the year and they need a lot less in October. During the summer months (May-September), Eddie gets a higher allocation (26 CCF) because plants –and particularly lawns—need a lot of water in the summer. In the fall and winter (October-April), the plants don’t need as much water, so Eddie’s allocation (17 CCF) reflects that.
