Layton Secondary Water & Conservation

Pressurized irrigation water & watering rules

Many Layton properties use secondary (pressurized irrigation) water for outdoor landscaping, separate from culinary drinking water. Layton City Secondary Water customers include those formerly served by the Davis & Weber Counties Canal Company within the city.

Watering Rules

  • No outdoor landscape watering between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
  • Follow Utah’s Weekly Lawn Watering Guide for how often to water
  • The irrigation season start date is set each spring (commonly mid-May) — don’t run sprinklers before it opens
  • In dry years the city may ask residents to cut outdoor water use (e.g., by 20%)

Save Water & Money

  • Water-conservation rebates through Utah Water Savers
  • Waterwise plant ideas from Conservation Garden Park
  • Programs and classes from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District
