2026 Watering Schedule

The Watering Schedule for 2026 is below. Feel free to water anywhere within the slot, and if it rains within your slot then there's no need to water!

Watering takes about 2 hours - the sprinkler normally does 1/4 of the lawn at a time (so you'll have to move it every 1/2 hour). Sometimes when the water pressure is low it only does 1/6 (so you'll have to move it every 20 minutes).
The sprinklers are a bit temperamental (especially when the water pressure is low) and may stop moving - a knock or tug on the hose generally get them going again.
You can do the watering any time in your slot
If it rains in your slot then you don't have to go and water!
If you do do the watering, can you run the taps in the toilet for 3 minutes and sign the log - its part of our agreement with the council that we'll do this to help prevent legionnaires disease.
Weeding the bit of the lawn that isn't being watered is always appreciated - there's a weeding tool in the shed.

If you need to change slots, then please use the 'StA Croquet Watering' whatsapp group to organise a swap/substitute.

Also when you've watered (or decided you don't need to) please drop a note on the whatsapp chat as well.

Any problems or questions then contact Stephen.
